Getting the Transform from a Mesh vertices with OpenMaya

[Jeremy YeoKhoo]

Hey guys,

I am trying to return the transform node of a components. So say for an example I select vertices or faces, etc... of a mesh, and I want to return the name of the Transform. This is my code:

import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.OpenMaya as OpenMaya

meshes= []

sels= cmds.ls(sl=1)

MSel = OpenMaya.MSelectionList()

for i, each in enumerate(sels):

    if cmds.nodeType(each) != "mesh":

        assert False

    else:

        MSel.add(each, i)

        ##MObj= OpenMaya.MObject()

        MDagPath= OpenMaya.MDagPath()

        MSel.getDagPath(0, MDagPath)

        dagObj = MDagPath.transform().__str__()
        print dagObj

        if dagObj not in meshes:

            meshes.append(dagObj)

Now the weird thing is, this worked before and returned the name of my transform and when I re opened a Maya, the same bit of code is now giving me a pointer. 

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks

-Jeremy

Not sure

but you should use a Set  for meshes not a list saves the last test….

Thanks Matt :) I guess that is better for dealing them as objects? 

I found out how to get the path name though

dagObj = MDagPath.transform()

result= OpenMaya.MFnDagNode(dagObj)

obj = result.partialPathName()
