Is it possible to convert surfaces to 'edges' ?

Also another edge selecting method that may be helpful for your case is the new loop selection option that was added in the last beta:

quote:

New Select loop function. Added a new script function to make it possible to set up a keyboard shortcut to select a loop of edges around a trim boundary on a face where at least 2 consecutive edges are already selected. To set it up add a new keyboard shortcut in and for the command put in the following:
script:moi.geometryDatabase.selectLoop();
