Hello,
I have some problems figuring out how to make Blender remember what I had selected previously while switching through the various mode. For example, I’d expected that after selecting some Faces, changing to Edge mode, making some edits, and then moving back to Face mode, I’ll find the same selection I made, before switching to Edge mode, instead, I get the selections transposed in the various mode.
Searching through the various options I couldn’t find anything, and other Blender users on Polycount confirmed that you can’t do that.
I think that having the ability to select what you want independently from what your previous selection was while keeping the selection in store, is a nice thing to have, to explain better how this works in other software (Cinema 4D in this case) I made a video.
In use example
Since this discussion may comprehend another functionality, that from what I can see Blender lacks, that is the ability to set a component selection (Edges, Vertices or Faces) and store it, like a group, so that you can recall your selection when needed.
