I used the lasso to select all edges (front and back). But about half the edges (and associated points) won't select. If I try to select one of the top four faces, it turns out they are all one face, and those interior edges and the crown point are unselectable. I flattened the history. No change. I'm doing a lot of point editing lately and use SDS often. I don't recall ever running into this before. Am I forgetting something, or is this a glitch? Thanks for any clues.

Select loop edges, faces, select adjacent, select 1 over N (can specify what to skip) and grow or shrink selection of edges or faces. Post by Jack Edwards // Jul 16, 2008, 6:36am Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 That looks correct to me John. You have "Show SDS faces checked". The unselectable edges are generated by the SDS. You can flatten the object which will bake in the SDS then you can select those edges but that removes the SDS. Best is to think of the mesh before applying SDS as a control cage. You can only edit the control cage, not the generated mesh, unless you flatten it and extract the higher res mesh. I find it a lot easier to work with SDS off, then add the SDS layers to see how it looks with the SDS applied. @James: Grow and shrink selection are found in the flyout with the white arrow (object select tool). It converts to vertex so you have to use the convert tool to convert them back to edge or faces if that's what you need to select. Edge loop and face loop selection is there in 7.5. I just wish it didn't try to be so intelligent and instead just traversed opposite edges in the case of face loops, and stopped and branching in the case of edge loops... *sigh*.

When I said that flattening history didn't work, I believe I had accidentally hit the wrong button. It does work. And I tested it several times, so I must have made the mistake repeatedly. Sorry to take up your time. Post by Jack Edwards // Jul 16, 2008, 6:42am Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 No problem John. Someone may find it useful. :)
