Version 1.0
Select Vertex Loop

Select Vertex Loop in Editable Poly/Mesh
(Array of vertex selection supported)
(Base object must be Editable Poly/Mesh)

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. :-))
