Hi,

thanks I have those 2 scripts in use already.

Fill slection is a workflow from polygon tools. For example here:

The edge selection determines the faces selection border. That is a very effective workflow since it makes selctions on complex objects very easy

Hi Chris, try the attached SelectFill plugin.

Instructions for installing a plugin here.

You'll need to set up an edge selection first, like this:


Then when you run it, you need to pick a face:


And then only faces inside the same zone bounded by the edges should get selected:


Hope that was what you were looking for.

Hi Pilou, it doesn't work on your case there because those are independent surfaces not joined to each other.

If you select those surfaces and use Edit > Join to glue them together into a connected object, then it should work.

Yes it is a great implementation by Michael. I already use it with shortcut and it is such a great addition to Moi. That workflow helps in many cases.
