Maya select every n edge

xvisurprise

Hi guys, so there is a one line MEL command in maya that lets you select every n edge. It was on this forum if I remember right, but now I can't find it. 

I know that in the bonus tools I can do that, but in this case tha command itself would be more handy.

Thanks.

You want to look at the polySelect command with the -lpt and -rpt flags.  The flags require two arguments of the edge number only, like so:

polySelect -lpt 32 36;

Thanks but this is not exatly what I was looking for. 

However, I have found it. (I saved it at work)

For edge ring:

polySelectEdgesEveryN "edgeRing" 2;

For edge loop:

polySelectEdgesEveryN "edgeLoop" 2;

Enkel

How to do this for vertices and faces?

polySelectVertsEveryN "vertexLoop" 2;    -   does not work

// Error: line 1: Cannot find procedure "polySelectVertsEveryN". //
