With two opposite edge loops selected, I want to run a script that merges each opposite edge loop to a approx center.  

polyMergeEdgeCtx -mergemode 

I get a invalid flag ?

Invalid flag because flag invalid?

polyMergeEdgeCtx -mm 1

No more error, it doesn't merge the edges together in the loop ?

Did you want the ctx version of this command, or the one that directly performs the operation?

Wait, that I don't know, what I mean is what exactly does the ctx version do ? I want the one that directly performs the operation.  PolyMergeEdge / PolySewEdge hrmm ? If I throw in CSS code by mistake, no worries I'm doing both, fyi :)

The ctx versions are the ones that can start a user interaction to select things before performing the action. The non context calls do the thing directly with the objects you tell it.

polySewEdge -ws -t 1.3 -n "crsew" 

SewEdge had a threshold flag, I still get a parsing error, with two opposite edges selected, or a loop of edge loops ?
