Select by Angle #MEL?

[jayantbhatt07]

Hi guys select by angle is always  a pain for me. So I downloaded one window UI command but dont know how to assign the working command to it. Suppose If I type 0 in the box it should not select the faces and if I type 45 degree in the floatfield it should select faces with 45 degree. Please help me I'm not from programmig field.

HERE IS THE COMMAND (I don't know MEL )

string $window = `window`;
columnLayout;
floatField -value 0;

showWindow $window;

Hi, What should I type in the ''the here is command button'' I dont know. So it should select faces  according to angel wise. Like the button does in the screenshot.

Help please

Hi!

If you don't know MEL you have to learn it to be able to do such things.
The problem is not the command itself, but how to set up the field, query the value from the field and execute the command with this value.

(Just in case you only need the command , it's "dR_setSelConstAngle 45".)

I am sorry, but i can't do the work for you.

There are plenty of tutorials out there and even the Maya documentation is extremely helpful and provides many examples.
