-- create new layer
layer = LayerManager.newLayer()
-- set layer's name
layer.setname "My Layer"
-- add nodes to layer from selection
for n in (selection as array) do layer.addnode n

Thanks and got that...

But how put objs which were selected in a array?

Did you try running the code? He did everything for you right there. "selection" is a built-in objectSet in max. It contains all the selected objects. "selection as array" casts it to an array (though technically you don't need to).

Which is why he suggested you look at the layerManager in the help:

LayerManager.current : Interface : Read
Returns a LayerProperties MixinInterface to the current layer.

<Interface>LayerManager.getLayer <integer>which
Returns a LayerProperties MixinInterface to the indexed layer. The index is 0-based.

<Interface>LayerManager.getLayerFromName <string>name
Returns a LayerProperties MixinInterface to the layer with the given name.

I want to add obj i selected to layer02,but it didn't work ,where it wrong ?

LayerManager.getLayerFromName "layer02"
<MixinInterface:LayerProperties>
for n in (selection as array) do layer.addnode n
-- Error occurred in n loop
-- Frame:
-- n: $Cylinder01
-- Runtime error: Attempt to access deleted <MixinInterface>

you forgot to declare the variable, eg:


layer = LayerManager.getLayerFromName "layer02"
for n in (selection as array) do layer.addnode n


or


theLAYER = LayerManager.getLayerFromName "layer02"
for n in (selection as array) do theLAYER.addnode n
