Nifty Little Tricks in Maya - Selection

[@Aber1u]

Another cool hidden feature that Maya has built in, but it doesn’t exist in the menu, is a “select every N edge in a loop” MEL command: polySelectEdgesEveryN "edgeLoop" 2; Replace 2 with the desired number of edges to skip and save it to the shelf. Also rings: polySelectEdgesEveryN "edgeRing" 2;

Some great tips. I've been using Maya 20 years and never really wrapped my head around some of the finer points of selection, especially the component masking features. Unfortunately I think they get overlooked a lot as they are almost TOO versatile. Maybe if you're a full-time modeler and spend ALL your time tweaking components you'd eventually get the hang of it, but as a generalist I have often found it takes more time to figure out what masking settings I need than it takes to simply brute force the selection by hand.

"ConvertSelectionToShell" Good alternative shortcut to select all polys instead of double clicking.
