How to select edges by nearly same length?
Is there a simple built-in way to do this ? If not ... I will beef up "by short" to have min and max tolerance values with min set to zero be default.
Please advise if there is already a way.

Select|By|Short Edges
Right click on it (or on the little box side command name)
and set the tolerance.
Wings will select all edges which length is equal or inferior to that value.
It is limitated, but it is the only way i remembered.

FontBoa ... that only sets one limit. I'm asking if there is a way to set both limits (upper and lower). I think no.
But just in case I am wrong ... I'll wait. Honestly ... I don't know where else it would be hidden.

It seems a good idea, gg: really there is no way to specify a range...

Just as a point of reference ... one reason why I need it (not the only reason)
is to help me de-triangulate shapes after CGS operations. But there are plenty of other
times when it is needed.

For sure you know, but the Face|Tesselate|Untriangulate algorithms dont help?

It should check only the selected geometry, or if no selection, all geometry.
This is the way the selection tools work now.

Optigon ... I'm actually upgrading the current dialog to have both the Min and Max ... and not trying to break anything else. The default will be to have zero in the min slot ... which should be enough to continue existing behavior. I'm adding the language macro aspects as well to make sure it is legit. So should just inherit all correct behaviors. But I'll retest as you say.
I guess this begs the question of what happens when someone flips the values around. I guess I could check for that.
RE: How to select edges by nearly same length? - optigon - 12-12-2012
Sure.
One thing I notice is that the matching is currently set to Less Than the input value. Could you change this to Equal to or Less Than? Makes more sense that way
RE: How to select edges by nearly same length? - ggaliens - 12-12-2012
I'll change that behavior by adding equals ... but after that ... you got to "have my back" ... at least w.r.t. this change. LOL. Some of the dialogs have radio buttons to control include or disclude the equals cases. I don't want to get that crazy. I just want to do one baby step.
Why don't I push something ... and then you can add preview on top of that ? Preview would be awesome in this case.
