Hey Justin, I gave exactWorldBoundingBox a try and it is working so far on
all my tests, thanks! Here is what I came up with:
import maya.cmds as cmds
#Get current selection
curSel=cmds.ls(sl=1)[0]
#Create list of all faces in object
faceIndex=cmds.polyEvaluate(curSel,face=1)
#Empty list
negativeFaces=[]
#loop through faces
for i in xrange(faceIndex):
curFace = curSel + '.f[%d]' % i
#If the exactWorldBoundingBox is negative in X append that face to the
empty list
if cmds.exactWorldBoundingBox (curSel + ".f [%d]" %i)[0] < 0 :
negativeFaces.append(curFace)
#Delete the faces that were put into the empty list
cmds.delete(negativeFaces)
cmds.delete(curSel, ch=1)
One thing I noticed while working on this (which gave me some serious
confusion) is that when you create a default sphere, some of the
edges/verts that you would think are exactly in the center of the world,
actually aren't. So when testing this sort of thing on a sphere, I'd
recommend snapping all the center verts to the center of the world first,
to avoid getting super annoyed, like me ;)
Ævar, that sounds like that might be a good way of doing this too - I'll
definitely give it a try, thanks!
