ssget filter for Planar Surfaces?

[Anonymous]

I can't find anything online about how to call out a selection filter for Planar Surfaces.

What is supposed to be in the quotes where SURFPLANE is listed??

(command ".CONVTOSURFACE" (setq sface (ssget '((0 . "3DFACE")))) "")
(setq ssurf (ssget '((0 . "SURFPLANE"))))
(command ".MOVE" ssurf "" "0,0,0" "0,.25,0")

(ssget '((0 . "PLANESURFACE")))

Next time you don't know, try this line.

(cdr (assoc 0 (entget (car (entsel "Select object to get a type: ")))))

...or just (entget (car (entsel))) and look for code 0.

Thank you! I tried possibly every other combination except that one haha. You have my gratitude.

I'll save the CDR code to my arsenal as well now, wasn't aware of this way of inquiry.

Is there a VLA-Add... method to create a PLANESURFACE?

Or do you have to create them using the AutoCAD command?
