Hi, I was wondering if there is a simple way to change 1 coord of selected verts in a Epoly object. the polyOp.setVert method accepts a point3, but I want to only change 1 axis, so how could I do this?

The way I used to do it was use $.selectedVerts and set their pos.x attribute, but that wont work on a poly object with certain modifiers on top. Also if you get the current modifier from the stack and use that, the selectedVerts property doesnt exist for some reason.

Any ideas?

hi,

maybe this is too simple but is that what your looking for?

bleet = polyOp.getVertSelection $
for i in bleet do

(

blah = polyop.getvert $ i

blah += [0,0,2]

polyOp.setVert $ i blah

)

hmm, but doesnt your example add 2 units to the z axis? I just want to Set the value to an absolute, not relative.

thanks

hi,
you didn't specify that in the original question!
anyway here is the answer

bleet = polyOp.getVertSelection $

for i in bleet do

(

blah = polyop.getvert $ i

blah.z = 10

polyOp.setVert $ i blah

)
