[Closed] Move Soft selection via Maxscript

Aug 10, 2015 10:00 am

Hi all,

I am trying to move some verts with soft selection on via maxscript however, when moving it seems to ignore the soft selection? What am I missing here?

Any help appreciated!

subobjectlevel = 1
$.usesoftselection=on
$.falloff=50
$.selectedverts = #{10..25}
polyop.movevert $ #{10..25} [0,0,10] useSoftSel:true

The useSoftSel works, but you have to pass as bitarray all vertices that is affected by the soft selection.
Do the following:

create a plane 100×100 units, 10×10 length/width segments
convert it to an editable poly object
select one or more vertrices and apply softselection, but be sure that all vertices are affected by the soft selection.
execute this:


(
	polyop.moveVert $ #{1..46} [0,0,100] useSoftSel:on
)

the vertices with indexes from 1 to 46 will be moved. If some of those vertices are not affected by the soft selection they will not be moved.
