I get confused every time I use this feature.
Currently the right-click Select submenu shows “Deselect Faces/Edges”, which feels backwards and inconsistent with the rest of the menu. It would be clearer and more intuitive if these options were simply “Select Faces” and “Select Edges.”
It’s a context menu, it is reacting to the things you have selected.
Deslect Edges and Deselect Faces do exactly what they say. If you have faces and edges selected and choose one of those options, the appropriate entities will be deselected.
Perhaps there should be a Deselect menu, and that would have Edges and Faces, as options.
In the meantime, people seem to be understanding the current menu.
I understand the behavior, its just that when I go into a selection menu to select a component, the expectation shifts to deselecting. Its just a UI/UX thing. The rest of the options in that menu are as expected. You click on each to select them.
For reference of my perspective, you wouldn’t have a deselect menu to select objects.
What ends up happening, is that I need to stop every time to think about it.
The solution seems simple? Just rename Deselect Faces to Select Edges. It shouldn’t require a behavior change of the buttons.
