AST was written to help in working with editable poly objects on architectural models. It replaces 'poly size selector'. It allows selection of polygons by their size - and edges by their length and orientation.

How compatibility works
Choose the 3ds Max version you use. For example, selecting 2020 puts direct matches for 2020 first, followed by listings that say a supported version or newer.
Scripts that only mention an older version can still appear as “2020 unconfirmed.” Listings that rule out 2020 are excluded. Use “Show scripts with unconfirmed compatibility” to also see listings without a clear match.
Community reports show what worked for members on a specific release. They’re separate from the listing’s compatibility claims and don’t change the filter.

Description
Additional Info
Formerly called 'Poly Size Selector'
Concepts -
- Read the sizes of the polygons on your model using Get Polygons.
- Select polygons on your model using Set Polygons.
- Select edges based on their orientation in X - Y and Z.
- Read the sizes of the edges on your model using Get Edges by Size.
- Select edges on your model using Set Edges by Size.
Notes -
- AST only works on Editable Poly objects. I have no plans to add editable meshes at this time. The script will only run if you have an editable poly object selected.
- Due to the fact that figures will be rounded when they are in the spinners - you may need to nudge the Min figures down slightly and the Max figures up slightly to collect all the polygons/edges you need.
- Edge operations will still work when in polygon mode - but you will not see the effects until you change into edge mode - and vice versa.
- I plan on adding polygon selection by orientation.
