Add to selection (Ctrl-Shift) Not working?

[A.Baroody]

I cant seem to add select new verts to already selected verts. I'm trying ctrl-shift, but its just toggling all of my already selected verts off.. and adding the new selected verts.

in simple create mode hold down the CTRL key and move the mouse cursor over the vertex and it will turn red.
same way in simple edit mode to snap 2 verts into 1

it does, but i'm not sure if i understand your point

Try this. Select a multiple verts with the lasso tool, now hold control shift and try to select a bunch of unseleted verts, while overlapping your lasso selection with points already selected. You will see the previous selected points, deselect, while the new points get selected.

Now try it with just control, rather than control shift.

same thing.

It seems theres no way to add verts to a selection without deselected already selected verts. It used to work in v1.

* actually it seems to be working randomly. most of the time it does not, and sometimes it manages to. Very odd.

shift key will select or dis select, in other words if its all ready selected and you over lap selected verts it will dis select. in other words dont over lap selected verts

Right, but ctrl+shift should add selection to the currently selected points. However if you overlap your selection with already selected points.... the previously selected points you are trying to add to, become unselected.

This is confusing

Sometimes it works though, I'm not sure why, but usually it does not. It tends to work if i rotate the view.

In other words CTRL+Shift is doing what you explained Shift Key does. This is incorrect behavior. CTRL+Shift should not do what shift key does. CTRL+Shift should ADD to selection and not deselect overlapped selections.

For example try this.

Load up an object
turn on lasso
hold ctrl+shift
select some points
select more points and overlap the previous selected points
* At this point, it should add the new verts to the selection without removing any of the previous selected verts. SOMETIMES this works as expected, other times it does not, and it works like a "SHIFT ONLY" selection command.

Continue.

Keep holding CTRL+shift
keep selected random groups of verts trying to overlap with previously selected verts.

You will notice that they start to get unselected.

does the CTRL+Shift work for you using Brush mode instead of lasso mode?

It does appear to work in brush select mode mode.

Do you see what I mean with lasso mode? (rectangle also.. and probably circle)

Sorry to revive this, but I also don't like this 'feature'. I hope it will be remedied! Good product, a few more patches and I'm sure it will be exceptional.
