Propagation of Mesh Selection in the Resolution Mode
The following selections explains how the selected mesh element retains the selection intent when resolution is set.
• Shape selection—All the elements of the shape retain the selection at all resolution levels.
• Face selection—The derived faces retain the selection at all resolution levels. The selected faces are located within the boundaries of the original parent face.

Resolution Level 3

• Edge selection—The derived edges retain the selection at all resolution levels. The selected edges are located within the boundaries of the original parent edge.

• Vertex selection—The derived vertex retains the selection at all resolution levels. The selected vertex at a resolution level is a child vertex of the original parent vertex.

• Selection of multiple vertices—The vertices retain the selection at all resolution levels. The selected vertices are derived from the original parent vertices.
• Selection of different types of elements—All selected elements retain the selection at all resolution levels.

Reverse propagation of the selection intent
To retain the selection intent while switching to a lower resolution, you must select all such elements that will constitute the element at a lower level.
Not selecting all the required elements at a higher resolution level results in the loss of selection when you switch to a lower resolution level.
