Hi, I’m new to Blenders bpy but I am familiar with Python. Once I have selected a mesh and saved a list of its vertices, I can select a single one from the list and process it. The way I want to process it requires me to get its position (local or global) and a list of connected vertices, how can I do that? Thanks! ---

Have you tried to use [bmesh](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bmesh.html)? ```auto import bmesh mesh = bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active.data # object must be a mesh and in EditMode bm = bmesh.from_edit_mesh(mesh) for vert in bm.verts: vl=[] for l in vert.link_edges: vl.append(l.other_vert(vert).index) print("Vertex[", vert.index, "]:") print("\tco: ", vert.co) print("\tlinks: ", vl) ``` ---

Didn’t even know about it, thank you very much. ---

Why this not working for me? No any print… exist typical box, mesh. ```auto import bpy import bmesh # Function to print vertex positions for each object def print_vertex_positions(): # Table header print("No.; Name; Location x; Location y; Location z;") # Variable to count vertices count = 1 # Iterate through all objects in the scene for obj in bpy.data.objects: print("Object:", obj.name, "Type:", obj.type) # Check if the object is of type 'MESH' if obj.type == 'MESH': print("Processing mesh object:", obj.name) # Access the mesh data mesh = obj.data print("Mesh data:", mesh) # Create a new bmesh from the mesh data bm = bmesh.new() bm.from_mesh(mesh) print("BMesh created") # Iterate through the vertices in the bmesh for vert in bm.verts: # Get the global vertex coordinates global_co = obj.matrix_world @ vert.co # Print the vertex position in table format print(f"{count}; {obj.name}; {global_co.x:.2f}; {global_co.y:.2f}; {global_co.z:.2f};") count += 1 # Free the bmesh data bm.free() # Call the function to print vertex positions print_vertex_positions() ``` In some case of experiments I have: `Python: Traceback (most recent call last): File "\Text.001", line 6, in ValueError: The mesh must be in editmode` I believe that is possible to get for each object verts without option that manual must be in edit mode. [https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bmesh.html](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bmesh.html) > There are two ways to access BMesh data, you can create a new BMesh by converting a mesh from [`bpy.types.BlendData.meshes`](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.types.BlendData.html#bpy.types.BlendData.meshes) or by accessing the current Edit-Mode mesh. See: [`bmesh.types.BMesh.from_mesh`](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bmesh.types.html#bmesh.types.BMesh.from_mesh) and [`bmesh.from_edit_mesh`](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bmesh.html#bmesh.from_edit_mesh) respectively. ---

In short… I just want print gemotry node positions as are in tables, but for each object as name. ---

Have you looked into the Console output? Using the factory settings, just paste the script into the text editor and run it. It outputs the following: ```auto No.; Name; Location x; Location y; Location z; Object: Camera Type: CAMERA Object: Cube Type: MESH Processing mesh object: Cube Mesh data: BMesh created 1; Cube; 1.00; 1.00; 1.00; 2; Cube; 1.00; 1.00; -1.00; 3; Cube; 1.00; -1.00; 1.00; 4; Cube; 1.00; -1.00; -1.00; 5; Cube; -1.00; 1.00; 1.00; 6; Cube; -1.00; 1.00; -1.00; 7; Cube; -1.00; -1.00; 1.00; 8; Cube; -1.00; -1.00; -1.00; Object: Light Type: LIGHT ``` ---

Right… working… I expected a output in Python console not Blender Toggle System… It’s dissonance here… ;/
