I need a maxscript to select all even numbered polygons, could someone be so kind as to show me how this is written.

for editable mesh:
setFaceSelection $ (for i = 2 to $.numFaces by 2 collect i)

for editable poly:
polyOp.setFaceSelection $ (for i = 2 to $.numFaces by 2 collect i)

hOpe this helps,

Thankyou that works like a charm. It's got me thinking about random faces now.

$.selectedFaces = (for f in $.faces as bitarray where (random 0.0 100.0) > 50.0 collect f)

Works for either poly or mesh objects.
