Options
Stop At Boundary Edges
The option only makes sense in point mode or edge mode. If the option is enabled, the loop will
stop at boundary edges, This results in an open point loop or edge loop. If the option is disabled, the
algorithm will try to highlight a closed loop by ‘bending’ the loop around a boundary edge.
Stop At Boundary Edges enabled (left) and disabled (center); Select Boundary Loop enabled (right).
Select Boundary Loop
If enabled, this option allows only boundary loops to be selected.
If the tool doesn’t seem to be working, check that this option is disabled. It
allows only boundary loops to be selected.
Ring Selection
This tool is the same as Loop Selection except it selects elements that form a broad ring-shape. The
tool works in all three modes (point, edge and polygon).
