[Maya-Python] find geometry with vertex count as condition?

2011-12-26 Thread Panupat
say I want to select geometries that have more than X amount of vertices. Using some kind of logic like this select geometry where vertex count 1 Is this doable? I can think of a way to cycle through all geometries and check their vertices but wondering if there's a better way. -- view

As far as I know, maya's database doesn't index all geometry vertex counts in a way that you can filter select on it. The API selection mechanism only lets you select on name patterns and then filter on type. And the python commands wrap around that to add more type filtering. I believe your

Justin, thank you for your example. I never knew you can put a for loop right inside a list. I was looking for a faster alternative because it's such a big set with up to a thousand geometries all imported into the scene. But for my purposes, a normal loop would do too. The set was provided by
