Im trying to use volume select to select polygons using a lights position and radius. However the volume select modifiers units are not in world units. Is there a way to change this?

Has anyone got some sample code they can share?

Cheers

I would recommend using volume select modifier, then adding a "node" object which captures the faces. This way you can avoid headache of calculating the volume size to match certain world size (i have done it myself once, and abandoned the idea...). it a lot easier to just add a box or sphere and make it a volumeselect object... then later delete it.
You can avoid the whole modifier space thinking, as the volume selection object is just a max object.... hope this helps!
