select Objects by Coordinate?

[marktsang]

would be quite easy to do - i have use similar stuff before using simple hit testing

you want to compare the objects pivot or bounding box to the region you are selecting withing

compare each of the x, y, and z components and if all are withing the rage so is the object then add to the array

Thanks for Answering.


But how do i do that?

I'm pretty new to MaxScript and just learning the Basics.

I have no idea how to define a region, in which i'm searching for Objects neither do i know how to compare object pivots with a range of coords instead of comparing it with a ceratin coord.

Thanks in advance

If you want to select by a specific position, try this:


posArray = #([0,0,0], [100,0,0],[200,0,0])
myCoords = posArray[2] as string
for i in posArray do sphere pos:i
myArray = for o in objects where (o.pos as string) == myCoords collect o
select myArray
