--------- Hi. I've justed started looking at the COFFEE SDK, and I can't find any way to:
a) determine if the user is working in point, edge or poly mode, b) get the point, poly and edge selections in objects. (not tags, just live selections.)
Are these things possible? Can anyone point e in the right direction?
TIA James Cartledge

Hi,
a) In the C++ SDK, this is BaseDocument:GetMode(). I can't remember whether this exists in the Coffee interface - it's not listed in the documentation.
b) Look at the documentation for 'BaseSelect', Use BaseObject:GetPointSelection() for points, and BaseObject:GetPolygonSelection() for polygons. In Coffee you cannot access edge selections, as they were introduced after Coffee's last major update (6.0).
BTW, At the bottom of the Coffee 'Reference' page there are a large number of examples, which should help you get started.
Be aware that the Coffee interface is fairly limited (e.g. no edge support), and for any complex plugins you should really be using the C++ interface, which is much more extensive.
Hope this helps.
Cheers - Steve
