Trying to find out how I can view the name of the individual verts. I am exporting with a specific plugin (game) and it tells me some verts are to close, and it gives me the names of the verts. How can I view name of the verts.
I used to do this in Maya, but I can’t find this anywhere, help, forums asking around....

anyone

thanks

Assuming you are dealing with Editable Polys: Select the object and type this in MaxScript Listener:

polyop.setVertSelection $ --vertexnumber

subObjectLevel = 1

Replace --vertexnumber with the vertex you want selected.

Thanks for the reply, but it did not work. I know the name of the verts for the whole model, according to the skin table under skin modifier, but I need the vert name (number) to appear on the view port. Tried it with Editable Polys or mesh. Even placing the name (number) or vert in the code.
I’ve done some mel so not foreign to scripting, but wondering if there is an option somewhere to turn this on on the sub Object vertex mode?
Thanks

Yeah that was a half-assed ad hoc bit of code that worked in Max 9 that selects the vertex number typed in so one could at least find it quickly. I don’t know of any easy way to show vert numbers in viewports. There might be a way with MaxScript.
