More About the Face Selection Modes

The following selection modes are available for recognizing features locally:


  • Limited by Up To faces (default mode): selects all faces from the faces you selected to Up To faces. For this mode, it is advisable to first select Up To faces and then to select selected faces. When no face is selected as Up To faces, then adjacent tangent faces, of the faces picked by user, are chained.

  • Internal loops on Up To faces: selects all faces which form internal loops on Up To faces.

  • Tangency: selects all tangent faces to the faces you selected as Selected faces.

  • Adjacency: selects faces which are adjacent to the faces picked by user as Selected faces.

These selection modes are available via contextual commands from the the Selected Faces list and these are available only for local feature recognition.
