does anyone know if there is a way to that i can select all vertical faces in a scene?
is this even possible with scripting?
thx in advance
What do you mean by vertical faces? Faces on something like the side of a tall cylinder or something?
You could probably use the faces normals to get their orientation and collect them that way… That’s my first thought.

ya exactly
can u point me in the right direction for getting orientation?
you have to compare the angle of the face’s normal to a vertical vector and if the angle is close enough to 90degrees, than you collect that face. you can read into dot product to find the angle between 2 vectors.
edit: if you are checking and edit.poly object you can get the normal using polyop.getFaceNormal function
alright i think i get it now
thx
