AddToSelection

[ernpchan]

Is AddToSelection broken when using the string name of an item? It's not working for me in the attached.

AddToSelection(itemname/itemid)
Adds an item either by name or id to the list of currently selected objects.

Giving it an item ID works.

In LWSDK
AddToSelection takes only LWItemID as argument,
and no item by name.
See LWSDK/html/commands/layout.html#selection

If I open Utilities > Command Input/Command History
and enter AddToSelection [name]
nothing happens.

What Python uses is in 99.99% above command.

Ok..so the lscript docs are wrong then. Thanks for the info Sensei.
