x,y,z reading on selected vertices and objects

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.

if its verts and such I would use xform

Select the vert and use the following in the script editor

xform -q - t ;

To get the position of the vert

Just select your verts and give this a go (in the python tab):

Code:

import maya.cmds as mc

sel = mc.ls(sl = True)

for node in sel:
	vertPos = mc.xform(node, ws=True, q=True, t=True)
 	print vertPos

maybe i wasnt specific enough :S. I need a HUD number reading that constantly updates with each selection. it'd be nice to also be able to turn this on and off.

I am not a coding expert but I think you have to replace this part of the code;
ws=True, q=True, t=True

to ws=0, q=0, t=0
