Additional Info

Update: Version 1.2

[+] save settings to .ini file Version 1.1

[+] object set support (array of objects in selection) [+] prompt hints [-] pick button removed Version 1.0

Select Vertex Loop in Editable Poly/Mesh (Array of vertex selection supported) (Base object must be Editable Poly/Mesh) (undo support) Purpose-built:

Extend 3ds Max selection features on Editable Mesh/Poly 1. Select vertex loop not available in Editable Poly 2. Meshes also dosn't support that selection feature 3. Similar script was requested in ScriptSpot.com forum NOTES: Thanks to titane357 for noticed so "loop" word cause some misunderstanding. I should note that testing script in primitive looks like poly ops loop on edges, but ... the script used different method to select, so to be a clear script description, I'll be happy someone to propose a better name for the script.

Feature added as I promised and the script renamed too.

"Select Vertex Cross-section" is more explicite than "loop"
:-)) Thanks for next update !!

Thanks to all for the good reports!
Yes, Titane, am still not find better name... What about "Select Vertex Cross-section" or something similar?
And about your wish - no problems, i'll add this option as soon as i can.

Very handy script ! But I still think you should chenge the name, mine on lightwave was names "select_XYZmodulo" (not clear too ?)
I have a wish : it would be great to keep last used values as default when you run the script. :-))

to disperse the "fog" about, here's another example (Z axis "loop"):
