I am very new at scripting and I am pretty lost. I want my script being able to duplicate the selected faces then separate it to a new object using separate-selection, and then make the new object as the active. Thanks for your attention
Try this:
import bpy
actob = bpy.context.active_object
bpy.ops.mesh.duplicate()
bpy.ops.mesh.separate(type='SELECTED')
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = actob
bpy.ops.object.origin_set(type='ORIGIN_GEOMETRY')
bpy.ops.object.parent_set(type='OBJECT', keep_transform=False)
for actob in actob.children:
actob.select = True
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = actob
bpy.ops.object.parent_clear(type='CLEAR')
bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')
actob.select = True
@Albertofx This is incredible, so smart and simple
For anyone that doesn’t code, just slap a bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode=‘EDIT’, toggle=False) at the end and you have a perfect
extract script.
