How'd you do the boundary loop selection for new builds. I can't tell what you did from the screencast – MarcClintDion May 31 '14 at 08:06

Just press Alt+RMB on the edge twice (see this post) The old method works fine on new builds too. – gandalf3 May 31 '14 at 09:34

That works, thanks. It's nice to see it there now. It's a very appreciated addition to the selection tool. – MarcClintDion Jun 01 '14 at 06:45
