Wait, I want the opposite - it does the right thing, i want to know HOW to make it NOT select the faces between them. I wrote the opposite thing.
Edge mode.
Wait, it still does the same thing
Well then just extrude and delete the middle face? It's like one button.
or just extrude edges?
Yeah, its not in v2.6+ I was like "holy stuff I could have sworn there was an extrusion option like that"
keybinds are where its at baby.
