Select > Grow Selection Region
Grow Selection Region expands the region of the currently selected components outwards in all directions from the currently selected component on the polygonal mesh. The expanded selection is a boundary type selection that is dependent on the components in the original selection.
For example, if you have a polygon mesh comprised of four-sided polygons (quads) with one interior vertex selected and then choose Select > Grow Selection Region, the eight vertices that immediately surround the selected vertex are selected on the mesh (as these vertices form a boundary around the selected vertex). As you continue to grow a polygon selection the region of selection expands outwards.
Tip
Many of the polygon selection features are available from the context sensitive polygon marking menu when you press+
whenever a polygon component is selected.
