Version 1.0
Select Vertex Loop

(Array of vertex selection supported)
(Base object must be Editable Poly/Mesh)
(undo support)

Purpose-built:

    Extend 3ds Max selection features on Editable Mesh/Poly
    1. Select vertex loop not available in Editable Poly
    2. Meshes also dosn't support that selection feature
    3. Similar script was requested in ScriptSpot.com forum

NOTES:
Thanks to titane357 for noticed so "loop" word cause some misunderstanding. I should note that testing script in primitive looks like poly ops loop on edges, but ... the script used different method to select, so to be a clear script description, I'll be happy someone to propose a better name for the script.

Version Requirement: 
3ds Max 2008 and higher

Very handy script ! But I still think you should chenge the name, mine on lightwave was names "select_XYZmodulo" (not clear too ?)
I have a wish : it would be great to keep last used values as default when you run the script. :-))
