pzLoopSelection?
pzLoopSelection?
Hello,
Anybody knows old softimage script called "pzLoopSelection" ?
This tool is for selecting components with every Nth step.
I'm sure I was using this tool heavily 5 or 6 years ago, but I can not find the script file on my drive, nor on internet.
Do you know where this tool is now?
Thanks

I can't find that script, but jj_loopstep or RCTools should be able to do that also.

Thanks, Manny.
Yes, I know those tools are capable of that.
jj_loopstep is okay but lacks gui.
RCTools seems to be the way to go.
I don't know why I can not find "pzLoopSelection" now.
Maybe wrong name.... but I still have my old XSI screenshot image and I can see a button named "pzLoopSelection" on my custom toolbar.
pz must be somebody's initial.
Or maybe it was just a small script code posted on old XSI Base thread or something...
Thank you very much anyway.

Manny is '3DMastermind', but I understand how some folks make this mistake.
jj_loopstep is opensource python, so if you really like using it someone could probably code a nice GUI for it.

Re: pzLoopSelection?
Ahhh, AceMastermind, sorry about that. My bad.
Although I guess building a gui for jj_loopstep by myself is not that big hustle, I feel a bit better if I could make it from scratch.
Very alpha version. (JScript)
Select components first and run. It "leaves" selected components with every Nth step.

Code: Select all
Step = 2;
var SelStr = Selection.GetAsText();
SelStr = SelStr.replace( /\]/, "" );
var aSel = SelStr.split( "[" );
Body = aSel[0];
var aIndexStr = aSel[1].split( "," );
Index = "";
for ( var i=0; i<aIndexStr.length; i+=Step )
{
Index += aIndexStr[i] + ",";
}
Index = Index.slice( 0, Index.length -1 );
Index = "[" + Index + "]";
SelectingStr = Body + Index;
SelectGeometryComponents( SelectingStr );
Re: pzLoopSelection?
Sorry for late reply, since there is internet restriction in facility I'm working now (thanks to Disney) I don't lurk to this forum that often.
I found that one on my backup hardware at home. I didn't expected that anybody use that, that's nice. It's script, not plugin but I can wrap it into plugin if you find it usefull.
If you have any question feel free to ask, I would like to help if I can.
There is gif animation that show behaviour and script in python. Enjoy

Thank you very much, pezetko!!
Yeah, although I can do it by myself, that would be great to see the original writer's plugin version.pezetko wrote:It's script, not plugin but I can wrap it into plugin if you find it usefull.

Re: pzLoopSelection?
You are welcome.
I packed it as self instaled command, so it can be assigned to hotkey. Just put it in User\Application\Plugins\
Btw: it works for other type of selection too. e.g. on points, edges, even on whole objects.

super thanks, pezetko.
Re: pzLoopSelection?
This is the way I thought RC Tools would be upgraded to and work like, never happened
