Hello,

I have 2 problems selecting faces. I currently have this:

           IINode node = iface.GetINodeByHandle(handle);

           if (node == null)

               return;

 

           iface.SelectNode(node, true);

 

           iface.CommandPanelTaskMode = TASK_MODE_MODIFY; //2

           IObject baseObjectRef = node.ObjectRef.FindBaseObject();

           

           if (baseObjectRef.SubObjectLevel != 4)

               baseObjectRef.ActivateSubobjSel(4, m_Global.XFormModes.Create());

 

           ITriObject triObj = (ITriObject)node.EvalWorldState(0, true).Obj.ConvertToType(0, m_Global.TriObjectClassID);

           var mesh = triObj.Mesh;

 

           MasterNode tempMasterNode = m_MasterNodeList[handle];

 

           IBitArray selectionArray = GetFacesBitArrayByID(treeNode.matID, tempMasterNode);

           if (selectionArray != null)

               mesh.FaceSel = selectionArray;

 

1st problem: ActivateSubobjSel method crashes Max when there are modifier on my node. Is there a way to go to the baseObject? Ignoring all the modifiers on top?

2nd problem: This code is working with EditableMesh object but doesn’t work very well with EditablePoly. I can change the ITriObject to IPolyObject so it works on EditablePoly but then it doesn’t work on EditableMesh. I was wondering though if it’s possible to make it work on these 2 base meshes without checking the baseObject first.

Thanks in advance,
Vin
