At the left the initial state, at the center after the command was called up with **Grow Using Edges Only** disabled, at right with **Grow Using Edges Only** enabled..

This function can also be used on selected UV points and polygons.

The **Grow Using Edges Only** function works as follows:

- Enabled: All neighboring polygons that share an edge with the original selection will be added to the selection.
- Disabled: All neighboring polygons that share a vertex with the original selection will be added to the selection.
