RE: Loop through a component selection (scripting)

["Andy Nicholas" <andy(at)andynicholas.com>]

Hi John,

I think you probably want this:

var selected_edges = Selection(0).subcomponent.componentcollection; 
var num_sel_edges = selected_edges.count;

for(var i=0;i<num_sel_edges;++i)
{
      var cur_edge = selected_edges(i);
	...
	...
	...etc.
}

Alternatively, you can use subcomponent.elementarray to get the array of
edge indices.

Cheers

Andy

Subject: Loop through a component selection (scripting)

I am trying to write script that can loop through a selection of components
with a for...in loop.

I created a sphere and then selected some of the edges on it.

selectedEdges = Selection(0);
logmessage(selectedEdges);

This yields:

//INFO : sphere.edge[5,16,35,46,59,69,83,92,107,115,131,138]


So my edges are selected, but how do I get so that I can run through a
for..in loop that effects the next edge in the list as the loop is
reiterated? I have tried messing with SubComponent properties,  and other
objects to see if I could store the list as an arrays, but I have not had
success. What am I missing?

Thanks.
