Selecting hole border ring

[eliot543]

I'm trying to use AppendSelectCommand_HoleBorderRing in mmapi. It requires hole id and mode for selection, I'm not exactly sure what it does and how to use it, I imagine it selects faces as in attachment, where you click at border of a hole. Appreciate the help.

Yep, that's what it does.

If there's only one open boundary the boundary's nHoleID is zero. Not sure about the nMode. 0 and 1 work - while 1 is faster.

cmd2 = mmapi.StoredCommands()
cmd2.AppendBeginToolCommand("select")
cmd2.AppendSelectCommand_HoleBorderRing( 0, 1 )
remote.runCommand(cmd2)

Thanks a lot, I didint realise i need to start select command and was stuck on this for a bit. I checked the files and found that nMode is described: 

SELECTION COMMANDS
* Note: some selection commands take a mode argument which defines whether to replace/append/remove from the current selection
* The modes are 0=Replace 1=Append 2=Remove

Thanks for the feedback about the nMode options. Didn't find this until now... Still something to learn...
