[MAYA] Deselect components "only"

pOgOstyle

Hi there, 
somebody find a way to just deselect "point, edge, faces" without dragging in deadspace ?

You could assign this short MEL line to a shelf or even better as a hotkey. 

select -cl;

Thx Klaudio!

The standard right click marking menu also has a 'deselect all' on it.

Nah, its different. Its just deselect the hole object but let the component selection in.

FWIW, single clicking in dead space deselects selected components.  You don't have to marquee drag.  Clearly if you like it better on a hotkey, Klaudio's given you the best answer.
