Random poly selection

To see your image one needs an account?
Random or even/odd selections need explicit implementation. Maybe it´s scriptable to some point - I´m not sure. So I´d say there´s no way right now (without seeing your screenshot). Feel free to chime in at the wishlist forum; I believe there´s a thread already about it.

Cheers

Depending on your goal a crude method could be the use of the Build-modifier on a duplicated mesh:

Hi,
I've written a small script which select some random polygons (attached below). :smile:

Please check out the comments in the script for more details.

Bye

Disappearing Object after random Script.

The script itself works fine for me. Nothing disappearing.

Of course, if you extrude the first selection and then try this with a second, this will not work as soon as you have a few polys. You get some selected that will collide together and destroy the geometry.

Something like this could be interesting for adding detail to starships or whatever if there was a possibility to contstrain the random selection to a direction (based on the normal) and / or a degree. It would be great if the random selection could be based on the previous selection.

Click to expand...

Hmm, it looks like you just select the window. If a window is deselected the controls in a window are greyed out. In your case it shouldn't matter at which place in the window you click. You just make it the active window. That has nothing to do with the script.
