3DS Max - Easiest way to Select Loop Segment
I have to re-learn Max 2014 for a job, and I'm frustrated that there seems to be no tool for selecting a portion of a loop. I found a thread here that pointed out the Step Mode Toggle, which works nice, but only with faces. Does anyone know of any simple method to do this? -
Re: 3DS Max - Easiest way to Select Loop Segment
Step Mode works with verts, edges, and faces, but turns off when you switch component modes. Alternatively you can select the end components, then run Step Loop with Dot Gap set to 0, or run this: macros.run "PolyTools" "StepLoop" -

It isn't always on because the default key to add a vert/edge/face to a selection is ctrl, which is the same hotkey step mode uses. -

Activate Step Mode, Dot Gap 0, select one edge, HOLD Ctrl and select the other edge. -

SyncviewS span select is awesome like that. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1397854/polycount/stash/IC_SelectSpan_0_0.zip -
Re: 3DS Max - Easiest way to Select Loop Segment
So I tried making a script a to keep it always on for all sub-object modes, but because the thing is a Toggle, it just switches on and off all the time. Does anyone know of a way to keep the step mode always on? -
Re: 3DS Max - Easiest way to Select Loop Segment
Thank you guys, turns out I didn't fully understand step mode. Still, isn't that a feature anyone would want always on? If I wanted to do this, is the only option to create a macroscript that activates this every time I switch component modes?
