Assuming the blue box is my marquee selection I want this to be the result of my selection. I'm not looking for alternative ways of getting the selection, I'm looking for a way to adjust the marquee selection tool.
You can write custom scripts to get around this with the ls -preSelectHilite (-psh) command. { string $preSelect[] = `ls -fl -psh`; string $select[] = `ls -fl -sl`; //If more components are pre-selected than selected if (`size $preSelect` > `size $select`) { select $preSelect; polyMapCut; select -cl; } //If you have more…

Is there a way to disable this so that component mode is…
Also, if you want to select the entire cube, why not go into object-selection? or select one face and Grow Selection (which expands the selection to the edges)
I'm trying to figure out a way in Softimage to save a "selection set" and transfer that over to Mudbox by doing the send to Mudbox feature.
