# UV Islands to Seams

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