I made a simple experiment: - i select "keep UV selection in sync" - then use the rubber band tool to select an UV island
As a result i get the related vertices selected on the 3D View, just as expected. AND i also get all UV vertices selected which belong to other UV islands, which i also expect because i have actually chosen to keep UV in Sync with 3dView... Now here is my problem with your argumentation: If you say, the selection by UV Island is "wrong and unusable", what makes it ok to have the rubber band selector available, which actually "suffers" from the same issues? -gaia- On 18.03.2015 10:16, Antony Riakiotakis wrote: > because selecting an island will also select its vertices, and those > vertices can belong to other uv islands, and if you select those > vertices you'll have to select uv vertices on other islands as well. > Ergo, you either select more islands - which makes the tool useless, > or you leave your selection state invalid. > > On 18 March 2015 at 08:02, gandalf3 <zzyx...@gmail.com> wrote: >> I would be surprised if this hasn't been asked before, but finding old >> stuff on the mailing list isn't easy.. >> >> Anyway, trying to select UV islands with L while sync selection is >> enabled gives the error "Cannot select linked when sync selection is >> enabled". >> Why must sync selection be disabled?
