Context Face selection (MEL)

[Christopher.]

I want a context menu to select faces on a mesh what is that command, polySelectCtx only does edges ? Is there perspective command whereas I can do operation in a perspective view ?

I don't really like this solution. It's not very clean

For my animator team I developped a marking menu depending on the selecton, type of object and custom attribute of objects.

I can thus separate different type of action with the keys.

":+clic" selection action (symetrize selection, select eyes, etc etc)

';+clic" action (symetrize selected, reset pos, etc etc)

This is my solution:

it's an old script and I can not put full but there was everything you need to understand how it work.

Updating is full in PySide. It is not yet functional as Maya markingmenu but that will come later

Hi, thanks I want this to be strictly MEL ;-) Whereas the users only option is to select polygons, then from there select faces, facing a camera and select a specific camera in the scene with a threshold.

I work in Python but it's same way in mel.

I think you'll find everything you need on this website

I looked at the code on the page.  In other words you saying I need a function then add the menuItem syntax with flags ? Just want to break down what is explained on the page.
