I have a script that is selecting some polygons based on some stuff that’s not important. What is important is that I want to make a shape from the edges of the selected polygons. In editable poly, I would just hold control and select edge, but I can’t figure out the equivalent in maxscript. I added the selected polygons to an array:
face_array = polyOp.getFaceSelection obj
And now I’m trying to do something like this:
polyOp.setEdgeSelection obj (polyOp.getFaceEdges obj face_array)
But I can’t get it to work. I’ve tried doing one value from the array at a time (face_array[1]), but that doesn’t work. I think I just don’t have the right vocabulary to tell it to do what I want. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.
fn CreateShapeFromSelectedFaces node =
(
faces = polyOp.getFaceSelection node
edges = polyop.getEdgesUsingFace node faces
polyop.createShape node edges
)
CreateShapeFromSelectedFaces $
Hey, that worked great! Thanks a lot.
