Виділення – Selecting

This page discusses specific selecting tools for surface objects in Edit Mode. The Surface Edit more also uses the general select tools used which are described in the interface section.

Surface selection in Edit Mode is very similar to NURBS curve selection. The basic tools are the same as with meshes, so you can select a simple control point with an LMB-click, add to current selection with Shift-LMB clicks, B order-select, and so on.

Меню «Виділ» – Select Menu

The Select menu (in the 3D Viewport header) is even simpler than for curves…

All these options have the same meaning and behavior as in Object Mode (and the specificities of Box Select in Edit Mode have already been discussed here).

Checker Deselect

Орієнтир – Reference

This tool applies an alternating selected/deselected checker pattern. This only works if you already have more than one control point selected.

It works by changing the current selection so that only every Nth control points will remain selected, starting from the active one.

Mode:Edit Mode Menu:Select ‣ Select Linked Hotkey:L, Ctrl-L

Select Linked will add to the selection the mouse cursor’s nearest control point, and all the linked ones, i.e. all points belonging to the same surface.

Select Similar

Орієнтир – Reference

Selects control points that have certain similar properties to the active one. The Наладнати Останню Операцію – Adjust Last Operation panel provides several selection options:

Type

Type

Selects splines that have the same spline Type i.e. Bézier, NURBS or Poly.

Radius

Selects control points that have a similar Radius value.

Weight

Selects all points that have a similar Weight value.

Direction

Selects control points that have a similar handles direction.

Compare

Select Control Point Row

Орієнтир – Reference

Mode:Edit Mode Menu:Select ‣ Control Point Row Hotkey:Shift-R

This option works a bit like edge loop selection for meshes, inasmuch it selects a whole row of control points, based on the active (the last selected) one. The first time you press Shift-R, the V row passing through (containing) the active point will be added to the current selection. If you use again this shortcut, you will toggle between the U and V row of this point, removing everything else from the selection.

Select More/Less

Орієнтир – Reference

Mode:Edit Mode Menu:Select ‣ More/Less Hotkey:Ctrl-NumpadPlus / Ctrl-NumpadMinus

Expand or contract the selection based on current selected control points.

Більше – More

For each selected control point, select all its linked points (i.e. two, three or four).

Менше – Less

For each selected control point, if all points linked to this point are selected, keep it selected. For all other selected control points, deselect them.

Це передбачає два моменти:

1. Перше, коли усі керувальні точки поверхні виділені, то нічого не відбувається (оскільки для Less усі пов’язані точки завжди виділені, а, звичайно, More не може додати вже нічого). І навпаки, те ж саме відбувається, коли жодна з керувальних точок не виділена.
2. Друге, ці засоби ніколи «не виходять за межі» поверхні (вони ніколи «не стрибатимуть» на іншу поверхню у цьому ж об’єкті).
