How to get shape path vertices with script?
Hello,
What I am trying to do is get all the vertices points from a selected path. Is this possible?
I tried doing as described on page 177 of CS6 scripting guide, but I am getting a undefined result.
var selectedShape = app.project.activeItem.selectedProperties[0].value.vertices ;alert(selectedShape);

What property are you selecting ? Normally your code line should work if you select a mask path property or a shape path property.
It won’t work for special shapes like Ellipse/Rectangle/Star (you’d need to convert them to a path before).

I was selecting the proper thing, adding a .path fixed it!
var selectedShape = app.project.activeItem.selectedProperties[0].path.value.vertices;alert(selectedShape);

Ah ok…
if you select a mask path (keyframable), the mask group (renamable) is selected along, and selectedProperties[0] is the mask group, not the mask path.
Same for paths inside vector layers.
