How to select Edges relative to the selected Face
Hi!
I'm quite new to MaxSxript and i'd like to bevel two selected side-by-side faces and chamfer the edges of the new beveled faces.
The selected Faces for this action will be always side-by-side.
I've enabled the MacroRecorder while executing the bevel/chamfer on the edidable poly shown on the left side of the Screenshot , and the commands look like this:
$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].SetOperation #Bevel $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].bevelType = 1 $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].bevelHeight = 3.6 $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].bevelOutline = -4 $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Commit () subobjectLevel = 2 $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Select #Edge #{8, 13} $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Select #Edge #{12} $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Select #Edge #{11} $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Select #Edge #{10} $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Select #Edge #{9} $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].SetOperation #ChamferEdge $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].edgeChamferType = 1 $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].chamferEdgeAmount = 1.187 $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].edgeChamferSegments = 2 $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].edgeChamferTension = 0.5 $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].chamferEdgeOpen = off $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Commit ()
The problem is, that the Egde indices are hard-coded and the code won't work on other faces - see screenshot the poly on the right side.
So is there a way to make this Edge-Selection relative to the selected faces ?
Hope someone could help me out. Thanks in advance & sorry for my bad english :)

you can select all wanted
you can select all wanted edges at the same time !!

Update
I've tried to convert the Face selection to a Border selection - seems it'll do the job!
Thank you so far!!
But i guess i'll be back soon, because the script isn't done yet ;-)

Face to Edge on Edit_Poly
*You need to select the Edit Poly Modifier before running previous commands .

Ok, thanks for the answer - but there's still a problem
Ok, thanks for the answer! I've changed the script like this:
Now is the problem that the ChamferEdge( old stuff ) isn't applied
