in Maya is there a way to select faces inside a selection in component mode?

#1

Hey all,
So I was wondering say if you selected a loop of edges or faces is there a button or tool that could allow you to somehow select everything inside that selected area as well?

#2

control + Rclick -> convert to edges/faces/verts

is that what you mean?

Hi,

there’s some fill selection scripts out there like this one https://www.creativecrash.com/maya/script/fill-selection-mel

Sorry should have given an image. In the image I have selected an area of faces but I also want to select all the faces within the selected area. This would be really convenient at times when there are large amounts of polygons to select and I have an edge loop that encompasses all of the faces I want to select. And with the script I keep getting the error “line 44.20: “$fsUVCut” is an undeclared variable. //” when trying to use it.
