Select a vertex loop

Vertex loop selections let you select several vertices across a polygon mesh without having to select each vertex individually. For more information, see Polygon component loops and rings.

To select a vertex loop on a polygonal mesh

  1. In the scene view, right-click a polygon mesh and select Vertex from the marking menu.
  2. Select one vertex in the vertex loop you want to select.
  3. Shift + double-click a vertex connected to an adjacent edge in the direction you want the vertex loop.

    All the vertices along the same line are selected.

To select a partial vertex loop on a polygonal mesh

  1. In the scene view, right-click a polygon mesh and select Vertex from the marking menu.
  2. Select one vertex in the vertex loop you want to select.
  3. Shift + double-click a non-adjacent vertex on the same line of longitude or latitude.

    All the vertices between the two vertices are selected.

Note:

You can re-use vertices from previous loop selections as the first selected vertex of another loop selection. You can use this technique to select multi-directional vertex loops.
