reorder vertex

[john_homer]

or alternatively... can you get maya to return the selected components in the order thay were selected?

example..
select -r pSphere1.vtx[2] ;
select -tgl pSphere1.vtx[1] ;

print (`ls -flatten -sl`);

maya returns...
pSphere1.vtx[1]
pSphere1.vtx[2]

whis is a real pain....

Hey John,

Actually, this came up today at work. I haven't tried it yet, but if you query the Undo buffer, it should have the list of vertices in the order they're selected prior to Maya collapsing them into the [#:#] bit.

Yep the undo thing works.

The only downfall is that you can only query the last event. So you will have to query the event, put it in a variable, then perform an undo, then query the event again which will return the action previous to the last.

It doesn't matter how old a thread is. The same problems come up again and again which is why we iterate over old threads.
