[Closed] loopEdgeSel property?

well, I’ve read in the maxscript help that there are loopEdgeSel and ringEdgeSel[font=Courier New] integer properties in the editable poly/edit poly/poly select objects, but I can not access this properties in any way and the inspector functions (apropos, showinterfaces and so) does not show me anything with that name.[/font]
Anybody can explain me how to access and use this properties and what they do?

u mean?

$.EditablePoly.SetSelection #Edge #{282}
$.EditablePoly.SelectEdgeRing ()
$.EditablePoly.SetSelection #Edge #{284}
$.EditablePoly.SelectEdgeLoop ()

Nop. I already know about those methods.
Let me explain.Copy/paste from the maxscript help:

<Editable_Poly>.[font=Courier New]loopEdgeSel Integer default: 0 – integer; Loop_Sel[/font]
[left][color=red]NEW in [/color][color=red]3ds Max[/color][color=red][/color][color=red]8[/color][color=red]:[/color]Get/Set the Edge Loop value.[/left]

[left]<Editable_Poly>.ringEdgeSel Integer default: 0 – integer; Ring_Sel [/left]
[left][color=red]NEW in [/color][color=red]3ds Max[/color][color=red][/color][color=red]8[/color][color=red]:[/color]Get/Set the Edge Ring value. [/left]

[left]<Editable_Poly>.vertexBreak Float default: 0.0 – worldUnits; Vertex_Break [/left]
[left][color=red]NEW in [/color][color=red]3ds Max[/color][color=red][/color][color=red]8[/color][color=red]:[/color]Get/Set the Vertex Break value.[/left]

Reading this, with an editable poly selected I type in the listener:


$.vertexbreak
0.0

That’s Ok. I don’t Know what the hell is this but it is there. Now type again:

$.loopEdgeSel 
-- Unknown property: "loopedgesel" in $Editable_Poly:Cylinder01 @ [91.801392,4.441401,0.000000]
 
$.ringEdgeSel 
-- Unknown property: "ringedgesel" in $Editable_Poly:Cylinder01 @ [91.801392,4.441401,0.000000] 

So, it’s a doc error? Or (most probably) I’m making somethig wrong?

I have the same result like you. Mabe is a bug?
