Hi,
I cannot figure out how to select the edges of an object. I tried using the shift ctrl left-click but it only selects faces. Does anyone have any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
The SelectionFilter command opens the Selection Filter controls. The Selection Filter restricts any selection mode to specified object types.
To select sub-object parts with a mouse press and hold Ctrl + Shift and left mouse click, window, or crossing. ReadMoreā¦

You should be able to do thatā¦ how was the box made?
Also, maybe it would be useful to run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.
Thanks guys,
I think I figured out that I can select the edges on closed extrusions, but not closed poly-surfaces. Iām assuming this means that if I want to morph an object using its edges in the future, that I will have to extrude 2D geometry.
Or if you have any other suggestions on how to do this, please let me know. Also, attached is the copy and paste of Systeminfo if you have any comments to make on whether this may be the cause of the problems.
Thank You

Updateā¦
I realize that when I morph an edge of a closed extrusion that it becomes a closed solid polysurface. Would you guys know how for it to maintain its properties as a closed extrusion after morphing?
Thanks
Not sure what you are referring to by āmorphāā¦ If you are talking about something like using Flow, FlowAlongSurface, CageEdit or something similar on an extrusion, then yes, it will become a polysurface. Also simply modifying an edge will do it.
An extrusion is defined by a profile curve extruded along a straight axis. As soon as you modify the result, even by trimming it or punching a hole in it somewhere, it can no longer be defined that way, hence it reverts to being a surface or polysurface.
Ok,
Thank you!
