Re: (Solved) MEL mystery series

It's cool you can figure out many ways to workaround MEL's limit, but they are workarounds: - Write it to a file (IO) - Make it a preference (intended for cross-session data sharing) - Store in a… -

Re: MEL script, how to query what materials are applied to what faces.
I don't do Mel but you need to do this... 1.Get a list of shading groups 2.Get a list of members from each shading group - which will be shape nodes or faces 3.

Re: Maya 3D view double-click detection through MEL
As far as I know, MEL seems to be flag based while what you seem to be looking for is event based (ie Actionscript) and even though there are scriptjobs, I took a look at the documentation and there was no flag for double click.

MEL - Naming a bend as it's being created?
