TUTORIALS
In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to select triangles or Ngons in a geometry
without using any script. I have noticed that, during modeling process, most of the people
unintentionally create some unwanted elements like triangles, five-sided faces or n-gons.
In most of the cases, triangle is not a problem. You can consider using triangle faces
unless you are not creating 100% quad geometry but ngons are something that we don’t
need in our model.
To eliminate these errors from your mesh, you have to find them first so that you can go
through each error and fix it right away BUT creating these errors is way easier than
finding them in the mesh.
Finding them manually is not an option as it takes whole bunch of time and you could skip
many of those elements easily but, there is an awesome and quick way to select all the
tris, ngons or five-sided faces of the model in just few clicks.

Let’s go and learn how to do that.
Step 1
Here, I have a low poly leg geometry for the demonstration which has quite a good
topology but; the geometry with clean looking topology too; might contains triangles, five-
sided faces or Ngons. Let’s go ahead and check if our leg model contains any tris or
ngons.
Step 2

Select the geometry, and switch to
Polygon
sub-object level. Now, Inside the
Ribbon,
click on the
Selection
tab to reveal some more options.
This tab contains some really great tools that make it easier to get complex selections
easily but; for this case we will be using
By Numeric
option.
Note: In case the Ribbon is off, click on Toggle Ribbon button on the main toolbar
to turn it back on.
Step 3
Inside
Numeric
panel, we have a
Sides
spinner where we can input a desired value,
depends on the type of faces you want to select.

Let’s say, we want to select all the five-sided faces in the model, then we have to use
5
as
Sides
value and click on the
Selection
button to make a selection based on the current
settings. You can notice that we get all the faces with five sides as the selection. (See
image)
Note: With the help of, Equal, Less than and More Than modes, you can choose
whether max looks for the faces with the sides equals to, less than or greater than
the value you have specified in the Sides spinner.
You can also use Select Non-Quads option to get all the non-quad faces in the selection
but; it won’t work if you don’t want the triangle faces to be selected.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and learn something useful. I will appreciate a like or
share. Stay tuned for more, thanks!
