# Select UV Boundaries

UV unwrapping and the use of *Seams* can result in various UV islands in the *UV Editor*. When you execute this command in *Edges* mode, the edges located at the borders of these UV islands and enclosed openings are automatically selected.\
If you want to select *Seams* directly instead of edges, choose the [UV Islands to Seams](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/UV_Tools_UV_Islands_To_Seams.html.md) command.
