[Closed] Apply MeshSmooth to selected faces

Jul 05, 2006 4:59 pm

Hi all.

Ok, maybe this is a total silliness but I’ll take the risk.

I’m trying to apply a MeshSmooth modifier to a group of selected faces through MAXScript. I think this script should do the job:

Box name:"MyBox"
select $MyBox
max modify mode
addModifier $MyBox (Mesh_Select())
subObjectLevel = 3
setFaceSelection $MyBox #(6)
--completeRedraw()
modPanel.addModToSelection (MeshSmooth iterations:3 isolineDisplay:false ignoreSel:false sepBySmGroups:true)

But for some reason, when I apply the MeshSmooth modifier to the selection, the face selection I previously did in the Mesh_Select Modifier is reset, so the MeshSmooth doesn’t affect the model at all.

Any ideas of what could be causing this?.

Thanks.

To set the face selection in the MeshSelect modifier, you have to pass it as second argument:


b = box name:"MyBox"
ms = Mesh_Select()
addModifier b ms
max modify mode
select b
subObjectLevel = 3
setFaceSelection b ms #(6)
modPanel.addModToSelection (MeshSmooth iterations:3 isolineDisplay:false ignoreSel:false sepBySmGroups:true)
