Full Version: Select all joined faces script?

From: Chris (CEEN)

Hi,

is there a script somewhere that enables me to select a face on a mesh, fire the script and the script selects all faces that are joined to the selected face? "Select connected", "Select joined" would be the terms for example

This would be a great script. Even if it just "selects suitable touching surfaces" for potential joining (and branches as far as it can go), hopefully it's compatible with MoI v3.

With my luck, this probably already exists in MoI and I've just been oblivious. ;-)

If you want to select just the immediately neighboring joined faces, there is a script here for that:

If you want to get all of the faces then the regular built in "Select All" Ctrl+A (on Mac Cmd+A) will do that.

Hi Michael,

thank you! Here another example from a poly modeling tool:

That workflow is very helpful indeed as well to select detached faces etc
