"Select only 'compound' paths" can
be put on a shortcut?

If Yes what is the syntax?

---

Hi Pilou,

It suffices to follow the normal method of adding a shortcut, and adding:

script:var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getCurves(); for ( var i = 0; i < crvs.length; ++i ) { var crv = crvs.item(i); if ( crv.getSubObjects().length> 1 ) crv.selected = true; }

With all credit for the script given to Michael, ofcourse.

Thx, it was for the end of the line that I had some doubt :)

---

there is not something false in the script?
Seems it keep in memory previous joined lines!

If I launch the script whith the yellow curves selected, the other curve becomes yellow too !!!
Is that normal?

I've made a small change to the script that will clear all previous selection and then proceed to look for only compound curves:

moi.geometryDatabase.deselectAll(); var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getCurves(); for ( var i = 0; i < crvs.length; ++i ) { var crv = crvs.item(i); if ( crv.getSubObjects().length> 1 ) crv.selected = true; }

This is actually a good idea, since it will avoid mistaken identification.

Confusion may also arise after having used the "Rebuild" function with the "Refit" option. In this mode only curviture continuous stretches of a compound curve are rebuilt into a single entity; this results in the possibility of a compound curve even after a "rebuild". To avoid this use the "# points" option("keep corners" turned off); since this mode is not adaptive you will need many points - by running the rebuild function a second time, with the "Refit" option, this problem can be avoided.

If your asking why "previous joined lines" are selected: this is the purpose of the script :) - the idea is to select these charlatans :) and 'rebuild' them, this way avoiding spikes/kinks while editing.

<this way avoiding spikes/kinks while editing.
I had well understood :) but not for the curves who are some kilometers away :)

Hi Kiril, also if you want more info about scripting, one way is to look at existing scripts but also see here:
http://moi3d.com/wiki/Scripting

for some additional information. See David's page for some documentation on what properties and methods are available on each MoI class, and also you can get the moi.idl file there which contains a all the stuff that is accessible to scripting in it.

Thanks Micheal, I'm quite content with the level of customization I can achieve now - I shall wait for something akin to JQuery for MoI :) before I invest much more time into scripting.

Cheers,

Kiril
