Getting xyz data for every vertex selected

[alexx]

the commands you need for that are e.g.:

- filterExpand
and
- xform

try looking up the pointPosition command in the help files. it works well for finding the coordinates for vertices.

hope this helps,

Take a look at my copy/paste vertex positions script at Highend3d

// get the selection list
string $selVerts[] = `ls -flatten -selection `;

// use a for loop to query the value of each vertex
// I then assign the values to a vector array. I do this
//for easy tracking.

vector $vPos[];

for ( $each in $selVerts ) {
float $tmpF[] = `xform -query -worldSpace -translation $each`;
$vPos[`size $vPos`] = << $tmpF[0] ,$tmpF[1] ,$tmpF[2] >>; }

now each index of $vPos will hold the co-ordinates of the vertex in the corresponding index of $selVerts

You can also use pointPosition command.

pointPosition -l pCube1.vtx[0];

( thank to strarup for helping me at same problem )
