Select a row of edges?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Can you select a row of edges?
I would like to select one edge and then hold down a hotkey and select another edge on in the same row and have all edges between the two selected.

thanks

you can try the select edge loop tool (whatever it's called *shrug*), but after you double click on your edge it'll go all the way around until there's no more loop. after that i think you'd just have to deselect the edges you don't want.

Accept no substitutions.

your best bet is with "select contigious edges". In the option box you can limit the number of edges you select.

you could try selecting edge out of the popup menu, and then be able to click on an edge to highlit it, and then hold down shift and continue on selecting the ones you want.

Do what you like, like what you do.
