Re: 3ds max camera based selection
Make sure you convert your object to Editable Poly and collapse your modifier stack before running the script. On the surface a lot of the max modeling tools seem similar but they actually call different commands. Editable poly, is an object. Edit Poly, is a modifier.

Re: 3ds max camera based selection

Re: 3ds max camera based selection
Hi, here is the script you're looking for (hopefully :) It is not super tested (it's late). It works on Editable Polys and select all the faces visible from camera in the active viewport. It is a function and a call on the selected node, I think you should be able to run it. ( function getVisiblePolys theEditablePoly…
