3ds max box de-select?

MainManiac

Ive been wondering if this is possible? Can i use the box select to deselect faces/points etc also?

Hold ALT? Is that what you mean?

PolyHertz

are you referring to marquee? If so, hold alt while dragging to deselect.

Thanks a ton guys. Its usually shift and ctrl but i guess in max its a little different.

To deselect everything hit Ctrl-D, works in sub-object mode also.

hold alt? Or am I misreading something How would a inverse marquee selection work exactly? Do you mean like selecting a bunch of stuff and then using ctrl+I for inverse, all in 1 single action instead of 2?

I think he means that if he has selected a bunch of vertexs and then marquee select the top part of the model, only the vertexs inside of the marquee gets selected/deselected (if not selected, select and the other way.) Imagine if you have a 3x3 plane and select left and right side, so you have two columes selected and then marquee select horizontal in the middle of the whole thing, you would get a X shape selection.
