Need simple help for selecting new object made

select objects[objects.count]

This will select last created object, i.e. the detached part.

Thank you for the reply!

Thanks for the replies jahman and pixamoon !!

Waited quite a few days for the post to be approved by a moderator, and in that time i i managed to get it to work by do this:

on DetachClone pressed do
(
a = uniquename "Top"
selectedFaces = polyop.getFaceSelection $
polyOp.detachFaces $ selectedFaces asnode:true node:$ delete:false name:(a)
subobjectlevel = 0
b = $.name a
select b
)

Although it works, i do not know if its is good coding practice to do so

newname = uniqueName "part"
polyop.detachFaces $ #{1..20} delete:false asNode:true name:newname
select (getNodeByName newname)

Hi,

It should be enough to use:

SelectByName a

or if you want to get it as new variable without selecting

b = getNodeByName a

Best,

I have a similar thing i am trying to accomplish, but cannot get the code to work for the life of me.

Im trying to create a script that can:

1. Take a selected editablepoly with many faces>

2. detach all faces as new editablepoly's

3. select all those newly created polys from detach command

4. add a uvwmap to those individual polys im not picky on the naming, and can probably handle the adding of uvwmap, but am stuck on selecting the polys from the detach faces script im using

below is the code im going from: 

(

fn DetachAllFaces obj =

(

if classof obj == editable_poly do

(

local nf=obj.numfaces

while nf !=0 do

(

local newObjName=uniquename (obj.name+"_00")

polyop.detachFaces obj #(nf) delete:true asNode:true name:newObjName

centerpivot (getnodebyname newObjName)

nf=obj.numfaces

)

)

)

objs=for o in selection collect o

selcnt=objs.count

for i=1 to selcnt do

(

convertTo objs[i] Editable_Poly

DetachAllFaces objs[i].

delete objs[i]

)

)
