[Closed] Need help to save vertex position to TXT file
May 19, 2008 10:24 am
Hi there,
I am new to 3DS Max, so I think this is going to be a pretty simple question for you guys…
I have a cartography map made of splines in 3DS Max, and I need to store the splines’ vertices positions in a TXT file, but all I get is a blank file…
this is the script I am using
clearselection()
out_name = ("c:/testmesh.txt")
out_file = createfile out_name
for o in objects do --all the objects in the scene
(
local theMesh = snapshotAsMesh o
for v = 1 to getNumVerts theMesh do --loop through all vertices
(
vert = getVert obj v --get the v-th vertex
format "%
" vert to:out_file
)
delete theMesh
)
close out_file
edit out_name
what am I doing wrong?
Thx in advance.

I think that maybe the path you are using is causing the error in the script. Try with “C:\ estmesh.txt”.

Looks like a copy and paste problem.
for v = 1 to getNumVerts theMesh do --loop through all vertices
(
vert = getVert obj v --get the v-th vertex
format "%
" vert to:out_file
)
the variable obj is undefined, as it was never declared. If you replace it with theMesh it should work.
