- If you're trying to select only the side polygons of say, an extruded
- logo or text, you can lasso the front faces and lasso the back faces
- from the side view and then hit the " key (shift single quote) to
- reverse the selection.
- This also gets around the problem you have if you try to select the
- side polys based on their point count (4) where you also get the faces
- of any four-point "I"'s.
- If your extrusion has bazillions of polys, drag-selecting with the
- mouse will probably miss a few unless you make several passes.
