To select all faces within a boundary of edges or faces
  1. Select edges or faces to define a boundary.
  2. Ctrl(CMD)+Shift+click a face surrounded by unselected faces.
  3. Ctrl(CMD)+Shift+double-click the face again.

also as command

_SelFacesToBoundary

ooooo, I like that, a lot :+1:

oh nice! I knew that was on the list but hadn’t seen that it was added!

works for an edge loop too. (even a jogging edge loop, that changes direction…as long as it contains an area. )

double click an edge to get a loop, then Shift command click a face, then shift command double click a face again. It will flood to the edge.

oh cool… works to deselect as well-

adding a few named selections like this is super useful too…

Hi All,
One more, maybe we are more that what I imagine, but I use the command ReplaceEdge + select curve in combination with Blend or surface blend a lot. This helps me replace transitions created by FilletEdge and it’s quick way to have everything watertight.

I hope you like it!
