...maya "shell selection" hotkey with mel? (uv island... or poly element in 3ds max)

maze

Hi there!

I recently changed studio and forgot to copy a script for shell selection in maya!  (similar to "5" element selection in 3ds max) I had a quick .mel to assign that to a hotkey, but not now. If anyone use a hotkey script for this and can help me, that'll be great.

cheers

double click in face mode...

yeah I know that. But it was easier to select uv islands with a hotkey for shell selection

theres no key you'll just get used to it after a few hours eventually

ctrl + rmb --> uv shell

Shell selection in UVEditor on directly in viewport on your model?

on the uv editor!  I guess I'll use "to shell" its not that big of a difference, I'll get used to. 
thanks

In your "windows/settings Preferences/Hotkey Editor" you can edit your hotkey go to Editors->UV Editor-> Select UVShell.

i would say double click is faster than a hotkey...
