Try to scale a separate face for EditablePoly
I try like this....

p = convertToPoly(Plane())
polyop.setFaceSelection p #{1}
scale $.selectedFaces [2,2,2]

returns - undefined

cool, but correctly write

cool, but correctly write so

(
local faceSel = #{1}
local poly = convertToPoly (Plane isSelected:on)
subObjectLevel = 4
polyop.setFaceSelection poly faceSel
local verts = polyop.getVertsUsingFace poly faceSel
local scaleTM = scaleMatrix [2,2,2] * inverse (maxOps.getTransformGizmoTM())
polyop.setVert poly verts (for v in verts collect (polyop.getVert poly v node:poly) * scaleTM) node:poly
)

polyop.getVerts

For any max version newer than 2018.2 that's the method you'd use, only for older max versions you'd go with getting the verts one by one.
