Hi all,

1. create a teapot
2. convert to poly
3. go to polygon subobject level
3. make 4 selectionssets from polygon selection (spout, lid, body, handle)

while still in sub object level, I can use the selectionSet dropdownlist to select these parts (spout, lid, body, handle)

but using MaxScript does not work...

selectionsets returns #SelectionSets()
selectionsets.count returns 0
getNumNamedSelSets() also return 0


Read the docs, did some search, and found no relevant information,
so me questtion is:
Is it possible to access subObject Selections Sets ?
and if so, how ?

Thanks in advance for any clues.

Do you have to declare the modifier open? withModifierOpen, to access variables inside it? I dont think theres a polyOp or MeshOp command.

I don't understand the question.

I am trying to access subobject level selectionsets via Maxscript on an editable_poly baseobject.
Although the UI lets me create, delete, combine etc. I still have not found the way to store, manage those selectectionSets via Maxscript.

The idea behind is writing some sort of SuperResetXform script,
that would keep sub object selectionSets, as well as vertex weights, and edge creases
atfer collapsing the stack.

I meant does the modifier panel have to be open, with the editpoly modifier, and subobject selection selected? to access its selection set. With some modifiers they have to be open for you to access them via maxscript.
