  What is the error? What is the output of the script editor? The issue is that I cannot debug the script in OS X.

  The easiest way to show the UI would be: 1. copy the script to one of your script paths (for example run "internalVar -usd" , no quotes, in a MEL tab or MEL command line, to get your user scripts folder) restart Maya or execute "rehash" command and then run: craSelections; or 2 . You can drag and drop the file to the Script Editor (MEL tab), or Load Script from Script Editor and then execute it and afterwards execute: craSelections; or 3. Source Script from script editor and then execute: craSelections; or 4. Optionally you can Load the Script in the Script Editor, then put: craSelections; at the end of the script, select all text, middle-click drag to a shelf to create a shelf button. Click the shelf button.

  Now I can see the UI after writing "craSelections" at the end but now when I select a face or edge and click on the "Click to store..." I get this message: Error on edge: // Error: line 118: The source attribute 'solidify.e[30].message' cannot be found. Error on face: // Error: line 118: The source attribute 'solidify.f[1].message' cannot be found. Error on vertex: // Error: line 118: The source attribute 'solidify.vtx[4].message' cannot be found. Thanks

  Can you try selecting vertex instead of edge?

  When I go to Vertex mode and select few and click on "Click to store selected objects" I still get this error: // Error: line 118: The source attribute 'solidify.vtx[4].message' cannot be found.

  Can you clear the Script Editor and the run the tool? then copy all the text from the Script Editor and paste it here. As I told you I am unable to debug on OSX.

SCRIPT NAME: craSelections.mel Main procedure: craSelections; DESCRIPTION: craSelections is a small script that lets you create selections and recall them later (it does not use sets o quick select sets) so nothing remains ins the scene. It has the option of creating hudButtons in the viewport also. Once the selections are set you can use the shift and control modifiers while pressing any window button or hudButton to add to the current selection (shift key) or remove from current selection (control key). LAUNCH UI: craSelections; Change Log: Version 3.0.0: Date: July 9, 2016 - Interface redesign - HUD buttons removed - Selections are now like quick select sets. - Selections are now node based instead of name based, meaning if you change the name of an object it will be still selected - Added Isolate button to toggle Isolate Selection on active view - Selections can be renamed by alt+click selection button - Now there are 10 selections instead of 9 - Not backwards compatible with version 2.2.0 - Version 2.2.0 included in the package Version 2.2.0: Date: July 1, 2016 - Added visibility button to toggle the visibility of the objects - Added template button to toggle the template state of the objects - Added right-click menu to delete objects on the clear selection button Version 2.1.0: Date: January 23, 2016 - Added load button to reload selection. They were auto-refreshed when a scene was opened via a scriptJob. - Added save button to save current selections in the UI to a new scene. Version 2.0.0: Date: January 21, 2016 - UI redesign - Selection now stored in the scene Version 1.1.0: Date: October 11, 2009 - Added auto update buttons state. If you create some HUD buttons and close the UI, later on when you reopen it, the selection buttons will reflect the currently used HUD buttons. Version 1.0.0: Date: October 10, 2009 - First release. */ global proc craSelectionStore( int $selNum) { string $sel[] = `ls -sl`; if(size($sel)) { if(!`objExists craUserSelections_storedSelections`) { createNode -n "craUserSelections_storedSelections" "chooser"; for($crai=0;$crai<10;$crai++)> 1 ? {.0, .75, 1} : {.4, .6, 1}); button -e -w 65 -l (size($labelName) > 16 ? `substring $labelName 1 13` + "..." : $labelName) -vis 0 -dtg `stringArrayToString $sel " "` -ann (size($sel) > 1 ?

  Umm... looks like the text is truncated. I would advise to use method 1 explained earlier to run the script. 1. copy the script to one of your script paths (for example run "internalVar -usd" , no quotes, in a MEL tab or MEL command line, to get your user scripts folder), and copy the script craSelections.mel there. Restart Maya or execute "rehash" command and then run: craSelections; Note: I see in the header that the script version is 3.0.0. Try the one inside the root of the ZIP file v3.2.0. Not the v2.2.0 nor v3.0.0.
