querying the subD level zero verticies

[ktpr]

I haven't tested this, but this should work:

$lv0faces = querySubdiv -a 4 -level 0 subdivShape1;
select - r $lv0faces; // if not already selected?
PolySelectConvert 3; // should convert from face to vertex

$lv0verts = `ls -sl`; // grab the vertices

now i dont know if you have to thave gametools to get polyselectconvert or if it ships with maya.

PolySelect assumes you have BonusPack installed.

Use:

subdListComponentConversion [flags] [objects...]

instead. So You select the faces at a certain level and use subdListComponentConversion to convert to vertices.
