Convenience shortcut to create selection with name "sele": 

select (selection)

Arguments

  • name = str: a unique name for the selection {default if skipped: sele}
  • selection = str: a selection-expression
  • enable = 0/1: show selection indicators {default: 1}
  • quiet = 0/1 {default: 0 for command, 1 for API}
  • merge = 0/1: update existing named selection {default: 0}
  • state = int: object state, affects spacial operators like within {default: 0 (all states)}

Examples

select near , (ll expand 8)
select near , (ll expand 8)
