selection shortcut?

hello,

I have just made the move from 3DS Max(7) to Maya(6) and i am still getting acquainted with the interface, is their a selection tool that alows you to select 1 edge of a cylinder's cap subdivision(or any geometry for that matter), then hit ring or loop to select all edges on that subdivision?

thanks in advance

is this the way of the future, or is it just ten thousand people standing in a feild?

Try going to Edit Polygons--> Selection-->Select continuous edges.

This doesn't always work.

There is a great plugin on www.highend3d.com called MJPolyTools. It has an option to select a ring/loop of faces and a lot of other VERY useful modeling tools...

hey lookey

thanks for the help, i found "Edit Polygons--> Selection-->Select continuous edges" to be of some use, but the MJPolyTools are great, gives me all my favourite tools and saves a lot of time.

once again, thanks heaps
