There's a correspondance between the Second port group instances of the ClusterShapeCombiner and the value of the SoloIndex.  The shape being soloed is Second port group instance index + 1. The value 0 for this parameter is reserved for the base shape.

Subject: mapping between items in the shape manager and their actual shape keys?

i am trying to write a tool to do mirroring of shapes based on what a user has soloed in the shape manager.

the shape manager logs this...

Application.SetValue("sphere.polymsh.clustershapecombiner.SoloIndex", 1, "")

i thought maybe the track number would sync with this, but it only does if you aren't added and subtracting shapes. this mapping is guaranteed.

we have convention that i can use but since the shape manager isn't logging anything but an index i dont see how to retrieve this name.

advice?
