loop over selected objects (python)

[clankill3r]

Is there any way to loop over the selected objects?

If i run this

Code: Select all

geom = Application.SelectAllUsingFilter("geometry", "siCheckComponentVisibility", "", "")
LogMessage(geom);

Then it seems like a string in the console.
However i can't split it. And neither i can access an element, so i'm guessing it's not an array.

Probably something like this. The Selection object ("a kind of a specialized collection") contains the current selection.

Code: Select all

geom = Application.SelectAllUsingFilter("geometry", "siCheckComponentVisibility", "", "")
for obj in Application.Selection :
	Application.LogMessage( obj.Name )

That would work because it is selecting and then loop through the new selection.
But since you are creating a variable (Object Collection, not an array) with geom, you could just loop that collection so you could deselect or select something else and you would keep your collection alive. Or even use the SelectAllUsingFilter to not select the objects (SelectAllUsingFilter("geometry", "siCheckComponentVisibility", False) and get the return collection.

Code: Select all

for obj in geom :
   Application.LogMessage( obj.Name )
