[Solved] Blender 2.8 - Selecting marked UV borders

Yerus

Hi!
Is there a way to select only the borders of the UV islands (w/o selecting the content inside)??
I'm trying to create squary UV islands. Is there another technique to achieve that yet?
Thx!

You can use ''Seam From Islands'' and then Shift G > Select Seam.

It works, but I want a way of doing this in the UV editor, so I can modify the shape of the UV islands.

Textools by @renderhjs does this. He hasn't updated it for 2.8 yet, but someone else has made an attempt: https://github.com/SavMartin/TexTools-Blender

I found out! U have to turn on 'UV sync selection' and in the 3D viewport go to Select > Similar > Seams

If I may say (and for the sake of people potentially searching for this question and finding this thread) : while what you describe may have fixed your problem, it actually is *not* a solution to your initial question.

Select similar > Seams will indeed select all edges marked as seams based on a current selection. In your case it worked because you probably manually marked these seams yourself in the first place. But this action will not select unmarked UV borders.

You're right! well, that's a bummer.... I'll rename it then...
