Select polySmoothFace node???

[GDC]

If you know the object that has the polySmoothFace on it you can find it with something like this:

// assuming history hasn't been deleted!
string $hist[]=`listHistory $OBJECT`;
string $thisOne;
for($i=0;$i<size($hist);$i++)
{
if(`nodeType $hist[$i]` == " polySmoothFace")
{
$thisOne=$hist[$i];
break;
}
}

Or you can simplify that further with something like:

string $listHist [] = `listHistory $OBJECT`;
string $listSmooth [] = `ls -type polySmoothFace $listHist`;

And that will give you all of your polySmoothFace nodes in $listSmooth. You can use "size ($listSmooth) == 0" to test if the list is empty (and there aren't any polySmoothFace nodes), and $listSmooth[0] to grab the first one.
