I’d expect it to select a loop of edges not faces, but if you select an edge on the other side of a face I can see how that uniquely identifies a loop of faces.

I’ll try that, but it seems odd to select faces in that mode. So I guess you’re saying that I should use Edge Selection rather than face selection to choose a loop of faces. I found a program that shows the Keys/Mouse actions on screen so we can see what I’m doing. I’ll fire up CamStudio and see if I can get a video of the issue I’m see’n. Seems like you should be able to click anywhere in an adjacent face to point the way to the direction of the loop of faces that would be selected, but it’s unpredictable as far as I can tell. I’m talking about Face Selection not Edge Selection. I mean if you draw a line from the center of the face through the middle of the edge you are cliking on, that’s the direction. Is there some other setting that is messing this up?Īim for the edge of the face in the direction you wish it to go. Is there some setting that says - “Do something random”? Sometimes it selects a ring in the other direction.

Sometimes it selects a ring of faces in the correct direction and sometimes it doesn’t. So pick a face next to the one selected and add a whole ring in that direction around the object. So I make a UV Sphere, go into edit and then face select mode.īut I can’t understand what SHIFT - ALT - Rclick is doing.ĭoc I found said it adds a RING of FACES in the direction of the click.
