[Closed] Exporting vertex position to txt file

I’ve had this problem before. A Float value in Maxscript can only store decimal places to a certain amount before it clips them off. You will need to format the value straight to the file instead of assigning it to a variable first. Assigning it to a variable stores the float in memory, thus clipping off important information if the number is too precise. If directly accessed and directly formatted, you should get the right value:

So,

   format "%
" (getKnotPoint selA 1 1).x to:VFile
   

why are you converting to float then string?? that is where you are losing precision.

 try this:

 _x = vertA.x as string
 _y = vertA.y as string
 _z = vertA.z as string

VFile = createfile (Dest + selA.name + ".xyz")
format ("%,%,%
") _x _y _z to:VFile
