Oh wow... thanks!
I can't wait to try this out when I get home from work!
I was going to ask how one could ever figure out that vertex mode was "set_select_mode 3", but it appears you've given me a way to do that... so thanks for that also!
EDIT: I just noticed that the script doesn't seem to switch to Surface mode before combining...
Would that be as follows... (I'm guessing at the select_mode) ???
Code:
#(switch to Surface mode)
ac3d set_select_mode 2
