well, I've read in the maxscript help that there are loopEdgeSel and ringEdgeSel integer properties in the editable poly/edit poly/poly select objects, but I can not access this properties in any way and the inspector functions (apropos, showinterfaces and so) does not show me anything with that name.
Anybody can explain me how to access and use this properties and what they do?

u mean?

$.EditablePoly.SetSelection #Edge #{282}
$.EditablePoly.SelectEdgeRing ()
$.EditablePoly.SetSelection #Edge #{284}
$.EditablePoly.SelectEdgeLoop ()

Nop. I already know about those methods.
Let me explain.Copy/paste from the maxscript help:

<Editable_Poly>.loopEdgeSel Integer default: 0 -- integer; Loop_Sel
NEW in 3ds Max8:Get/Set the Edge Loop value.

<Editable_Poly>.ringEdgeSel Integer default: 0 -- integer; Ring_Sel
NEW in 3ds Max8:Get/Set the Edge Ring value.

<Editable_Poly>.vertexBreak Float default: 0.0 -- worldUnits; Vertex_Break
NEW in 3ds Max8:Get/Set the Vertex Break value.


Reading this, with an editable poly selected I type in the listener:

$.vertexbreak
0.0
That's Ok. I don't Know what the hell is this but it is there. Now type again:
$.loopEdgeSel
-- Unknown property: "loopedgesel" in $Editable_Poly:Cylinder01 @ [91.801392,4.441401,0.000000]

$.ringEdgeSel
-- Unknown property: "ringedgesel" in $Editable_Poly:Cylinder01 @ [91.801392,4.441401,0.000000]

So, it's a doc error? Or (most probably) I'm making somethig wrong?
