Description

Sorry Im an absolute beginner at this but I want to create a rollout script that, at the press of a button can read the selected object/model(s) name(s) and position(s) in scene and write it to the maxscript listener

ie..
Myobject, 5.00, 5.00, 5.00

I know how to create a rollout and a button but thats all atm.
can anyone help me out please? as I trying to get my head around this but need some relevant-to-me examples to start from

thanks
