EDIT: Using 2011 So normally in Maya when using the Select Edge Loop Tool it selects edge loops fine. But on border edges and trying to select a loop it selects the entire border which is extremely frustrating and annoying having to then go in and unselect all unwanted edges. Dose anyone know a way to get Maya to only…
It loops because it´s a "loop". You could imagine that it´s a 12 sided cylinder deformed to a square. I think Maya doesn´t check if there are extreme angles(<90°) like that to determine if it should end the loop like max does.
Thats seems to be a silly way to look at it. That is what I would call a border. They way maya is looking at it makes the border tool worthless. Max dosnt check for 90% angles to determin if something is a loop, it bases it off quads/tris. Even if you made 2 of the edges of a quad exactly aligned it wouldn't "loop" through…
