Face from object array

[Anonymous]

I have a script that selects the top polygons for a few separate objects, and i want to put them all in one array/group (i don’t have a preferred choice)
After the selection happens I don’t know how to add them to a group/array (I have a for loop that goes through each object)
I can accsess the ‘selectedFaces’/polyop.getFaceSelection but i don’t know how to transfer the face to a working list
I would love some help on the topic

When I try and attach the face to a random editable poly it gives me this message:

– Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: ; position: 36; line: 2
– Unable to convert: #faces( : $Box001) to type:
– MAXScript callstack:
– thread data: threadID:4444

---

– [stack level: 0]
– In top-level

thanks very much

Your question is not clear to me. Maybe some image may help.

polylist = polyop.getFaceSelection obj
polyOp.detachFaces obj polyList delete:true asNode:true
polyop.attach $box001 polylist

I want to detach the selected faces of an object, and than I want to attach them to a different object (in this case box001)

fn reattachPolyFaces source target faces: delete:on = 
(
	if faces == unsupplied do faces = target.selectedfaces as bitarray
		
	if not faces.isempty do
	(
		if (polyop.detachfaces target faces delete:delete asnode:on) do
		(
			_faces = objects[objects.count]
			polyop.attach source _faces
		)
	)
)

/*
detaches specified faces (or selected) from <target> (optional delete == ON) and attaches to <source>
using:
	reattachPolyFaces <to_poly_objects> <from_poly_object> faces:<optional bitarray> delete:<optional>
