Dave Girard posts a handy little script to fix the “stuck” highlighted components in Maya. Not sure where or why this arrises, but I do get it quite often, and reseting polygon components in the marking menu works as does selecting all and deselecting once again… however this is WAY better than all that. Thanks Dave.

” I know a lot of people will want just this code from my Facer MEL script. It’s a simple script to cycle selections to remove unwanted component highlights that can get stuck within Maya. Select the affected object and run this:”

$mySelection = `ls -sl`; ConvertSelectionToVertices; ConvertSelectionToUVs; ConvertSelectionToEdges; ConvertSelectionToFaces; select -r $mySelection; select -d;
