Script suggestion: Select Tris.

It would be helpful if there was a script that would select any tri polys on a mesh. This would particularly helpful when modeling for subdivision surface where quads are prefered. This would help the user see the triangles that need to be converted into quads. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Excellent! That"ll do! Here’s a tip for others who might use this script. You need to be in face mode to see the selected polys once in face mode tab into edit mode to convert the face selection into vertex selection. Exit face select mode and tab into regular edit mode where you verts should be still selected!

Cool! Thanks JMS.

(This script is also simple enough that I can learn a little python from it too!)
