Quesion: How to select the current sculpt object in the scene to some other operation (just like cal volume or size ) in python script ?

[Sandu]

I  read the python  api doc ,but I can't figure out  how to select the current sculpt object to do some other operations .  

code like this :

import coat

vol = coat.Volume.getVolume()

print (vol )

coat.dialog().params(vol).ok().show()

I don't know what goes wrong .need some tips and help  .Thankyou

Hello, this is how you can get reference to Volume which is left mouse button selected in Vox Tree
 

# import the module coat
import coat

# get selected scene element
scene_element = coat.Scene.current()

# scene_element.Volume will get reference to selected object volume, can then use 
print(scene_element.Volume())
# it does not have a default string but console should print something meaningful

# rudimentary example, get number of points from Volume and print to the console
print(scene_element.Volume().getPolycount())

all Volume member functions :
