Select Hard Edges(the green ones)

Submitted by rartidiello on Tue, 2019-11-12 23:38

Hello guys,

I need to select Hard Edges.

I saw a similar post selecting hard edges defining a minimum and maximum angle between faces but this is not what I need.

Imagine you have a 32 segment sphere converted to Editable Poly and you randomly declare 2 edges ¨Hard¨, using the Hard button on the Edit Edges rollup. You can see those edges in green if you click on Display Hard Edges, but you wont be able to automatically select them either by angle nor by change of the smoothing groups.

If there´s a way to select those green edges, that would be great.

Thanks.

Thank you very much, it's

Thank you very much, it's great!
Can you make it work for Edit Poly Modifier too?

I tried to replace the corresponding Edit_Poly code, but I couldn't find it in MAXScript Help.

My modified script ‘ Quick Set Edge crease ’

(  obj = modPanel.getCurrentObject() if obj != undefined then
     (
         case (classof obj) of
         (
             Edit_Poly:
             ( obj.setOperation 86 ; obj.dataChannel = 1 ; obj.dataValue = 1 ; obj.Commit ())
             Editable_Poly:
             ( obj.setEdgeData 1 1 )
         )
     )
 )
