Hi,Got a short question:
How does one get the writeable edge array?
It seems like the answer will be a lot longer than my question
It's easy to store the writeable points array in a vector, with GetPointW(), but for edges, there seems to be no such function.
Should I convert my selection from edge to point, and work on my points? And if so, how should I do that?
Thanks in advance for your help and time!!

You are on the correct path. Edges are inferred by the relationship of vertices in polygons and do not exist outright as a thing. It would be best to get your edges and you will be updating their corresponding vertex pairs. Note that edges sharing a vertex will need to be considered. If you update a vertex for one edge and then update the same vertex for another common edge, you will get twice the effect.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your answer!
And, I allready had in mind that it could give weird problems with common vertices in edges, but I change all my edges at once, so that shouldn't be a problem.With kind regards,

Hello,
as pointed out by Kuroyume there is no explicit data structure for edges. To handle edges you can use the Neighbor class; an example of its usage can be found in the Atom Object example.

Hi Sebastian,
I can't see how this would help me :s
I need to get the vertices attached to the selected edges, but, if I have one edge selected, I can't get that points with the Neighbor class, right?
The Neighbor class only gives me access to polygons, doesn't it?Thanks for your help and time!

Hello,
using the Neighbor class you can loop through all edges, check if they are selected and then handle the vertices that define a given edge. See the example in PolyInfo Struct Reference.

Hi,
So, if I had multiple edges sharing the same point, this could give me a huge problem, right?
Isn't it easier then to convert the selection with a modelingCommand? This would also allow me to do that on ALL my objects, instead for each object.With kind regards,

Hi,
It seems like the easiest way to do this was with a selectionChanger, the solution can be found here:
https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/8891/11767_selectionchanger-example-solvedAnother way around was temporarily converting the edge-selection to a point-selection, then adjust the points, and convert the selection back. That solution can be found here:
https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/8898/11786_mcommandconvertselection-solvedI won't look any further into the Neighbor class right now, because my problem is fixed.
You can mark this thread as solved!
