Finally got around to finishing the cycle select script with subobject selections. Cycling the selection thru all objects (depending on what's selected) should work now. Useage (with command line parameters) :

hotkey CycleSelectByType

Alt+hotkey CycleSelectByType Back

hotkey CycleSelectByType TopLevel

hotkey CycleSelectByType AllOfType

The TopLevel parameter will cycle selection thru all objects except faces and edges --

The AllOfType parameter will cycle thru points, breps, faces, and curves (except edges), depending on the type of object initially selected --

The Back parameter can be used with the other two parameters, as in:
CycleSelectByType TopLevel Back

If no object is selected before the script is run, a notice will pop up, click Done, make a selection, rerun the script.

One problem with this script is that on larger models with alot of objects, the edge and face cycle selection can be very sluggish, due to the way I've got the script designed.
Thanks to Michael and Petr for their help!

Hi Paul,

I put an idea how command should work on the paper last week when I was going a long way by train and managed to spare time to rewrite it today. The custom command just mixes all known macro scripts together, so the code isn't very clear... if else if else... I am still genuinely surprised it works :)
I am posting it in a separate thread... and trying your piece of work... fine. Moi's cryptic scripting is funny, isn't it :) But pretty time-consuming - making a model is much better.

Hi, Petr,
>The custom command just mixes all known macro scripts together <
Now you've got me curious! Petr's All_In_One_Super_Duper script !
If else, if else, if else --- Yup, I hear ya on that, like figuring out a big puzzle :)
But, I've learned alot in the process, it's kind of handy to be able to make a custom command once in awhile,
time to get back to doing some actual modeling for a change --)
