I'd probably just go into an ortho view like your side view and drag/select each row of faces that way. Pretty quick. Or by "wrapped" do you mean you have deformed the cylinder in such a way that you can't see a full row in any given ortho view?

Edit: Argh, my post shows up first. :(

Hey there
As my title says i have a issue with selecting every other row of faces in maya 8

im working on a cylinder that is wrapped around a pole but i need to select every other row so i can extrude them out.

Does anyone know of a simpler way of doing this bar doing in manually which will take forever coz i have a few cylinders to do :)

any help would be brill :).

In the mean time ill crack on doing it manually heh
