I meant Border Select (shortkey "b"), Sorry for the confusion. Maybe the other term slipped into my memory from usage with another tool :-[
Nevertheless i believe that selecting an island via Border select (or Lasso select) and selecting the island by using "L" should give identical results. And i agree that using any select tool in vertex selection mode might be less useful than using it in face selection mode. cheers gaia On 18.03.2015 11:00, Antony Riakiotakis wrote: > "Rubber band tool"? > > On 18 March 2015 at 10:40, Gaia <gaia.cl...@machinimatrix.org> wrote: >> 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.
