Hello, When I have editable poly and some of its faces are selected. If I query what the selection is it returns the object and not its selected faces or verts etc. Is there a way I get acces to selected faces/edges/verts?

Thanks you!

Search for GetSelection in the Maxscript Help.

Thank you! That command does return what my selection is. However when I try to compare it with an if statement. It returns true if selection is a face and the stament is looking for an object/vert etc. It's as though every component is selected. Here is how I have the script

typeOfSel = getSelectionLevel($)

if typeOfSel==#object then
print "selection is an object"

else typeOfSel==#Face
print "selection is a face"

Thanks again!
