In Cinema 4D, selecting connected faces and edge loops is a fundamental skill for efficient modeling and UV mapping. An edge loop is a series of connected edges that form a loop around a face or a group of faces. Selecting connected faces and edge loops allows you to manipulate and transform them as a single unit, making it easier to create complex shapes and UV layouts.
There are several methods for selecting connected faces and edge loops in Cinema 4D. One common method is to use the “Selection Lasso” tool. With the Selection Lasso tool active, click and drag around the faces or edges you want to select. Another method is to use the “Select Connected” command. To use this command, select a face or edge and then go to the “Selection” menu and choose “Select Connected”. This will select all of the faces or edges that are connected to the initially selected element.
