#select/deselect faces
5 messages in this thread
can one select/deselect faces with the PXP tse? I'd like to select 30% (then
70%) of the leaves in a Schreiber tree for deletion – maybe just go ahead and
delete them without the selection. PXP sounds like the ticket for such a job.
Can it do that? TIA.
I'll bring this to Dave Marks' attention as soon as he gets in this morning.

Of course, Martin. Just check out SELECT.ZIP in Section 18!
Martin,
thanks to you, Lee and James) for all your replies. I'll take a look at
select.zip
I actually have the beta manuals at home – I just haven't left work for several
days <g>.
Just a thought, Martin . . .
You can check faces for their material. Provided the leaves use a unique
material, it should be easy to write a script that traverses the list of faces,
creates a separate list of leaf faces, then deletes leaf faces in a randomly
distributed fashion, based on a user-entered percentage.
If you need a boolean-like deletion of leaf faces, you could use a reference
sphere such that the position of each leaf is tested to see if it's inside the
sphere. If so, delete it.
