Does anyone know of a script out there that will enable Maya to remember previous comoponent selections. So if I select some vertices play with them then go to face mode play with some faces .. then when I go back to vertices Maya will remember the veritces I was working with before going to faces mode.
thanks

I believe what you are looking for is a Select Set. Here's how to do it, no external scripts needed:

1. Select the faces or verts that you want to be remembered

2. Go to Create => Sets => Quick Select Set...

3. Enter a name for this Select Set

4. From now on, you can go to Edit => Quick Select Sets and choose the name of the Select Set you just created to select those verts, polys, edges, or whatever you put in the Select Set


Hope this was of help to you!

Someone wrote a script for this that's implemented with the RMB and posted it in the MEL Scripts section. I don't remember the script name or title of the thread, but it's definitely there somewhere!

also for easier QuickSelectionSets managing, try my selManager v1.5 script ;)

Yashu Ive got that script .. niiice!
aryzner .. Im not after selection sets. Im after what just about every other 3D program does and thats remember component selections. In Maya if your select something in for instance in faces mode then go to vertices and back to faces, the selections you previously made in faces mode are lost. I want to find a script that will remember the prevoious selections .. very handy for modelling!!
Iconoklast .. Ill have to do a search for it .. thanks.
By the way .. hows the interactive tool set going???

Slow, unfortunately, but I'm looking to release it sometime mid-month.

What was the script name, btw? I thought it was pretty handy when I first tested it.
