simple question:should I be using node arrays or selectsets or groups?

Submitted by nudity on Wed, 2011-09-28 12:54

I'm working on a script that needs to access an array of nodes in a predefined sequential order. Do I want to have the array: as an array of nodes or as a selectionset or as a group? they all save selection order? what if I want to merge this array from other .max files, what option would make this simplest?

I was just looking around

I was just looking around maxhelp, it seems like creating a new structure or a creating a container helper would be viable options as well. has anybody tried scripting using containers? is there a way to store meta data about the selection set, or is it just geometry nodes?
