Shift-G
Select geometry that has similar certain properties to the ones selected, based on a threshold that can be set in tool properties after activating the tool. Tool options change depending on the selection mode:
- Vertex Selection Mode:
- Normal
Selects all vertices that have normals pointing in similar directions to those currently selected.
- Amount of Adjacent Faces
Selects all vertices that have the same number of faces connected to them.
- Vertex Groups
Selects all vertices in the same vertex group.
- Amount of Connecting Edges
Selects all vertices that have the same number of edges connected to them.
- Edge Selection Mode:
- Length
Selects all edges that have a similar length as those already selected.
- Direction
Selects all edges that have a similar direction (angle) as those already selected.
- Amount of Faces Around an Edge
Selects all edges that belong to the same number of faces.
- Face Angles
Selects all edges that are between two faces forming a similar angle, as with those already selected.
- Crease
Selects all edges that have a similar Crease value as those already selected.
- Bevel
Selects all edges that have the same Bevel Weight as those already selected.
- Seam
Selects all edges that have the same Seam state as those already selected. Seam is a mark used in UV texturing.
- Sharpness
Selects all edges that have the same Sharp state as those already selected. Sharp is a mark used by the Edge Split Modifier.
- Face Selection Mode:
- Material
Selects all faces that use the same material as those already selected.
- Area
Selects all faces that have a similar area as those already selected.
- Polygon Sides
Selects all faces that have the same number of edges.
- Perimeter
Selects all faces that have a similar perimeter (added values of its edge lengths).
- Normal
Selects all faces that have a similar normal as those selected. This is a way to select faces that have the same orientation (angle).
- Co-planar
Selects all faces that are (nearly) in the same plane as those selected.
- Flat/Smooth
Selects all faces with similar face shading.
- Face-Map
Selects all faces belonging to a Face-Map.
- Freestyle Face Marks
Selects all faces with similar Freestyle Face Marks.
- Compare
For quantitative properties, this property selects the type of comparison to between the two numerical values.
- Equal:
Select items with the same value as the active item's chosen property.
- Greater:
Select items with a larger value as the active item's chosen property.
- Less:
Select items with a smaller value as the active item's chosen property.
- Threshold
For quantitative properties, this property controls how close the property's values have to be in the comparison.
