Maya 2020.1 selected vertex in pymel returns Attribute

[formjune]

Does anyone knows why Autodesk had decided to replace return of MeshVertex with Attribute("mesh.pnts[i]") for single vertex in pymel? Problem remains for CVs end EPs as well. 

And how to manipulte with them now as unlike vertex class attribute contains local position only? For Maya 2020 everything is ok, problem is 2020.1 only

Hi,

I am pretty sure we are aware of the issue (and it should be fixed in the next update) so if you provide a sample script I can confirm.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for reply!

import pymel.core as pm
plane = pm.polyPlane()[0]
pm.select(plane.vtx)
pm.selected()[0].getNormal("world") # works like in 2020
pm.select(plane.vtx[0])
pm.selected()[0].getNormal("world") # broken in 2020.1

Thanks,

Andrey
