Cant select border in 3DS Max

framedrop

I'm not able to select the border of an object in 3DS Max, and as I'm new to all this, I have no idea on how to solve this, or what caused it to do so.
If you have any idea on how to fix this, please tell!
Thanks

I'm not really sure what you mean by boarder selection. Are you talking about UV seams or the boarders the edit poly sub-object group? Boarders are only open edges of geometry and UV seams aren't always on open edges. it might be a simple misunderstanding of how the boarders work in max?

Or is it that when you draw a selection, it only selects polygons that fall within 100% within the area of selection? There is a button in the main toolbar, that looks like a selection box with a box inside of it, click it and make sure the box is half in and half out.
