Selection question

How to make this kind of selection? The fastest way?

use  Polygon_Rangeloop_select or Polygon_Gaploop_select in a streamline tool. 

Mason, looks like process is very long... Or I do not know something?
I need something with this logic:

NVil can do that very quickly!

• Gap loop: MMB first polygon then double LMB second polygon. (Leave a gap.)
• Expand loop: Move the cursor to highlight a grow indication polygon, then in your case hold MMB and then press LMB to execute gap expanding. You could again leave a gap if you wanted another pattern or select a range with holding LMB and then pressing MMB

Bug?

I was also puzzled as to why loop select won't work wheras "single step grow loop" does.
Here's a visual representation of the process I described above:

Just brilliant!  something new I learned.

Спасибо.

Thanks! This is nice. Is the same thing also possible with some G-key-combo?

What I find limiting in the demonstrated way is, that one needs to be used to drive LMB and MMB with different fingers. Who actually does this? I always use the forefinger for both LMB and MMB (mice are too narrow for comfortable placement of 3 fingers and most programs don't need LMB and MMB at the same time anyway). If I wanted to select this way I really had to decide to hold my mouse in an unusual way.

Gap Loop can be made into a streamline and works just fine.

Coming from Maya, i am used to the lmb+mmb combo.  Its actually one of the features I like about Nvil, because  "tool option/modes"  are hotkeyed as well.  This makes for a very fast UI that no other app comes close to competing with.

Hehe, this sounds like a perfect marketing quote for the product website!
Unfortunately I seem not to have compatible fingers (and I already own one of the larger mice one can buy).

Well, that's what the G-key is for, it with its rubber-band just gives a somewhat different GUI for
the function. Gap looping is easy that way but I fail doing the second step: Make a loop selection from an existing loop selection.

Agreed. I also feel uncomfortable when doing this selection. Almost like getting cramps.
