Hi,

I want to get the selected points from a point selection tag attached to a polygon object. I see there is a SelectionTag, and I can get a BaseSelect from it, but I don't quite understand how to get to the selected points.

Is there any example code?

Greetings & Thanks in advance,
Jack

Point and Polygon selections work identically. They contain the same number of elements as the PointCount and PolyCount of the object and the value at the index is 1 if selected, 0 if not (via IsSelected()). Or you just use the segments (which only return groups of selected elements). So, to get the selected points, you will need the point Vector array (GetPoint()) and the Point selection tag's BaseSelect in unison.

Like so:

    
    
      
        LONG ndx, seg = 0, smin, smax;  
        Vector *pPoints = pPolyObj->GetPointW();  
        BaseSelect *pBaseSelect = pPolyObj->GetPointS();  
        while( pBaseSelect->GetRange(seg++,&smin,&smax) )  
        {  
            for( ndx=smin; ndx<=smax; ndx++ )  
            {  
                GePrint("Point: "+LongToString(ndx)+" is selected");  
            }  
        }

... that itterates over the segments.

That gets the actively selected points on the object but to get the selection in a selection tag, it is slightly different (thankfully, one doesn't need to use SendModelingCommand() in a circuitous way) :
