select faces by mel

[A_New_Hope]

hi
not really sure what you want to do, select all face of a object or all face in the scene?
but you can start by checking out the polyListComponentConversion command

[Robert Bateman]

select -r ($object+".f
");


or


select -cl;
$objs = `ls -type mesh`;
for($m in $objs)
select -add ($m+".f
");

[f117f117f117677]

select -r ($object+".f
");


or


select -cl;
$objs = `ls -type mesh`;
for($m in $objs)
select -add ($m+".f
");


thanks bateman
i am just confused . $object and $m are undeclared variables.
why can they work.

[A_New_Hope]

you have to declared the variables:

string $object;
string $objs[]


// name of the object with to select all face on
string $object = "pCube1";
select -r ($object+".f
");



select -cl;
// list off all polygon object in the scene.
string $objs[] = `ls -type mesh`;
// goes through all objects in the list
for($m in $objs)
select -add ($m+".f
");

Or you can just select the object(s) and run the command



ConvertSelectionToFaces;
