[Array] Select by mat problem

[TzMtN]

First of all, you could shorten that script into something like this:


select (for o in geometry where o.material == undefined or isKindOf o.material Architectural collect o)


and about that error, I think I'll need to see the scene to understand whats going on.
But try the shorter version, maybe it will work..

Thank you for your help. I will try this aswell.

I found the error, and it's now working.

..
join mymtlobjArray appendmyobj
..

I'd to use join instead of append :curious:

Your script works well and is way shorter than my one. I should've had this idea also, 'cos my script does finally the same. :blush:

OK, I've got it,
The problem was that you tried to append an array into an array of nodes..
The result would give you something like that:

#(node1, node2, node3, #(node4, node5))

instead of a simple array of nodes like that:

#(node1, node2, node3, node4, node5)

an array has to have all components from the same type.
This is why the other method 'join' worked but the append didn't.
