Lets
you select objects and components in view panels by drawing a freeform shape
around them.
Lasso Tool options
Draw Style
Sets whether the lasso
automatically closes itself.
- Open
-
As you draw the lasso,
the shape remains open.
- Closed
-
As you draw the lasso,
Maya connects the end and start points to show the enclosed space.
Component Selection
Sets the accuracy with
which Maya chooses components in the lasso region.
- Fast
-
Uses an approximation
of the lasso shape to select components slightly faster when you release
the mouse button.
- Accurate
-
Uses the exact shape
of the lasso, but can take slightly longer to select components
when you release the mouse button.
On modern machines there
is very little difference in speed between Fast and Accurate component
selection.
