In Blender, select mode is used to select individual elements in a mesh, such as vertices, edges, and faces. You can switch between select mode and object mode by pressing the Tab key. Select mode is useful for editing individual elements of a mesh.

To select a seam, press the Shift key and left-click on the edge that you want to mark as a seam. The edge will turn red, indicating that it is now a seam. You can press Shift+A to deselect all seams.

If you want to mark multiple seams at once, you can use the box select tool by pressing the B key. To use the box select tool, left-click and drag your mouse to draw a selection box. Any edges that are inside the selection box will be selected. You can also use the box select tool to deselect seams by pressing the Alt key while drawing the selection box.

Once you have marked all of the seams that you want, you can press the U key to unwrap the mesh. This will create a new UV map that you can use to texture the mesh.

Blender also has a built-in UV unwrapping tool that can be used to automatically unwrap a mesh. To use this tool, select the mesh that you want to unwrap and press the U key. A menu will appear with various unwrapping options. Select the option that you want and press the Enter key.
