I’ve been using max for about 7 years now and I still have no idea how to do such a basic thing. Basically how do I draw a line on an object, similar how autogrid works with the first point that you place down, except with all of the points. Let me know if this doesn’t make sense.
Did you never use Snaps in all those years?
Just turn on Snaps->Face,Vertex, Edge.
edit: Ahh, sorry didn`t see this was in the Maxscript/SDK forum.
the question was about how to draw (create) line on the object surface a la maya’s ‘live object’ constraint
3DS max doesn’t have it built-in
Oh yes it has. It’s in the Modelling Ribbon->Freeform->Polytools
And it’s working great.
What exactly does that do?
I wanted to suggest exactly same thing, but I first wanted to make sure we are really talking just about modeling and not about some MXS/SDK stuff
Awesome, thanks guys!
