[Closed] get geometry in selection

Mar 23, 2006 10:34 am

hi,

i have a selection of geometry and dummies, and i want to create an array of the geometry only, something like this :

arr_g = for o in selection where o == geometry collect o

i’m am new to maxscript, and have searched around but i’m not even sure if i’ve stumbled upon an answer…

could someone please help me out?

You’re nearly right… It should be this:

arr_g = for o in selection where superClassOf o == geometryClass collect o

You can also collect geometry objects directly using:

arr_g = for o in geometry collect o

Cheers,

Or shorter,

arr_g = geometry as array

Both methods are equally fast.

thanks for the suggestions – i’ve been using ‘geometry as array’ in various situations, and it works like a charm, but the problem i had in this case was that i did not want all objects in my scene to be collected (which ‘geometry as array’ seems to do), just the ones in my selection…
