Lasso Tool
Lets you select objects and components in view panels by drawing a freeform shape around them.
Lasso Tool options
Draw Style
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
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.
