Hi Pior, I understand that it seems like face and edge selection that you're used to in polygon modeling would apply here as well but NURBS modeling is rather different in overall usage than polygon modeling. It's not really a fit to try and make it behave exactly the same as a polygon modeling program.

MoI will definitely kind of feel odd if you're trying to use it with the same approach as you would in polygon modeling. It's not meant to be used in that way.

MoI is actually designed to not need to use the keyboard for basic operations, so tying hotkeys into its main workflow is not really a fit for MoI either.

But it is possible though to set a selection filter that will then cause faces or edges to be targeted thereafter. You could do that by setting the following on a shortcut key:

script: /* Turn on edge selection filter */ moi.selection.setFilter( 'Types', 'Edges', true );

script: /* Turn on face selection filter */ moi.selection.setFilter( 'Types', 'Faces', true );

You'll see the filters activate in the "Types" section of the scene browser.

You can press the Escape key to turn off the selection filter.

I haven't seen that over here. Do you have an example model that you can post
that has this behavior?
