Maya Script for selecting mesh elements

Axcel

Hi,

It's so time consuming that i can't select elements by making marquee selections in maya. Does anyone have script which turns on element selection mode?

I know, that if I double click, it selects element. But you have to double click on each single element... so time consuming.
I know you can select faces and grow seleciton,but again.. you need to grow it who knows how many times.
You can select uv shells, but it's not same as continuous element.

Please help max user.

look into selection constraints. "Shell" I think is what you are asking about? It selects all contiguous components. Works with any of the selection tools -- marquee, paint, the tab hover clicky thing...

you can get to selection constraints fast by Q+***left***click marking menu, otherwise they are in select tool tool settings window
