    Hi Coyo

    Thanks a lot for your reply. There’s a lot of useful information to help improve my selection skills.

    Selection Tips Noted:

    1. Check vertex groups (Unfortunately, this model does not come with vertex groups, but I will keep this tip in mind for future use).

    2. Edit mode > “P” Separate by loose parts.

    3. Select all > “M” Merge by Distance.

    4. Convert triangle mesh to quads to reduce the number of faces to select.

    5. “Shift+G” Select Similar.

    6. “Ctrl+i” Invert selection.

    7. After selecting, SAVE and NAME the vertex group in the Data Tab.

    8. Ctrl Numpad +/- to grow selection

    Thank you very much for sharing.
