How come when the edge is sideways, Edge_y would become 0.0 while it isn’t the case
Okay, for the last time, then I give up:
try destroyDialog name_edge catch()
rollout name_edge "Name Edge"

on pick picked it do

3 : Edge_Point3 = Point3 proj.x proj.y 0
)
messageBox (Edge_Name + " : " + Edge_Point3 as string)

)
createDialog name_edge
Thanks, it okay now.
But I am onto the SDK, for getting back the info from maxscript
I am looking for ways to map maxscript variable to the SDK
Value *x;
Value *y;
Value *z;
Value *Name;
Value* get_Edge_X()
{
return (Value*)x;
}
void SetEdgeX(Value* _x)
{
x = _x;
}
Value* set_Edge_X(Value* val)
{
SetEdgeX(val);
return val;
}
Value* get_Edge_Y()
{
return (Value*)y;
}
void SetEdgeY(Value * _y)
{
y = _y;
}
Value* set_Edge_Y(Value* val)
{
SetEdgeY(val);
return val;
}
Value* get_Edge_Z()
{
return (Value*)z;
}
void SetEdgeZ(Value *_z)
{
z = _z;
}
Value* set_Edge_Z(Value* val)
{
SetEdgeZ(val);
return val;
}
Value* get_Edge_Name()
{
return (Value*) Name;
}
void SetEdgeName(Value *_name)
{
Name = _name;
}
Value* set_Edge_Name(Value* val)
{
SetEdgeName(val);
return val;
}
void SimExporter::Init(HWND hWnd)
{
//MessageBox(NULL, "Here", "Here", NULL);
define_system_global("Edge_Name", get_Edge_Name, set_Edge_Name);
define_system_global("Edge_x", get_Edge_X, set_Edge_X);
define_system_global("Edge_y", get_Edge_Y, set_Edge_Y);
define_system_global("Edge_z", get_Edge_Z, set_Edge_Z);
try {
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
}
catch (const XMLException& toCatch) {
// Do your failure processing here
OutputDebugString("XML Serializer init failed");
return;
}
}
When I try to retrieve the X value, I get a NULL
Value *x = get_Edge_X();
float val = x->to_float();
printf (“%f
“, val);
I am so mixed up now.
Could anyone supply a editable mesh version of this applet?

local theObj = selection[1]
--local theEdge = getEdgeSelection theObj
local vert1 = getVert theObj 1
local vert2 = getVert theObj 2
The problem with this is the indices of 1 and 2 not always pointing to the the right edges. A mesh can contain a thousands of edges…
How do get the indices of the vertices of the edges currently selected?
Thanks
Jack
local theEdge = getEdgeSelection theObj
theEdge.showproperties
How come getEdgeSelection is undefined, is that a built in function for maxscript?
I have selected a mesh edge for sure.
Why?
Thanks
Jack
