I'm trying to select just the new vertices after using poke face, this is what I have so far, but it doesn't work if I use poke on multiple connected faces. Any ideas?
import bpy
bpy.ops.mesh.poke()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_mode(use_extend=False, use_expand=False, type='VERT')
bpy.ops.mesh.select_less()
Use bmesh.
Recommend using the bmesh module, to avoid mode toggling and other insanity.
Input the faces into the bmesh.ops.poke operator and it returns a dictionary of the newly created geometry. (faces and verts)
import bpy
import bmesh
context = bpy.context
ob = context.edit_object
me = ob.data
bm = bmesh.from_edit_mesh(me)
faces = [f for f in bm.faces if f.select]
poked = bmesh.ops.poke(
bm,
faces=faces,
)
print("New verts", poked["verts"])
you might try the return value of the operator
poked = bpy.ops.mesh.poke()
verts = poked['verts']
for v in verts:
v.select = True
You could also do select in object mode:
verts = [v.index for v in verts]
for v in verts:
ob.data.vertices[v].select = True
ob.data.update()
