Hi guys, i´m wonder if anyone can create a script that creats a new object, the object is basicly like a tube but perfectly square, i mean like a box but with a square hole in the midle but that i can adjust Lenght, Width and Height and of course the hole inside. I try the tube itself but when i put only 4 sides it gets weird shadows in the faces and i have to adjust as radios not linear sizes, well i hope it makes sense.
If it is too hard tell me if i can follow a tutorial inside the maxscript help, the thing is that i don´t have any idea about scripting and i have only 4 days for the job. By the way i try a boolean object, doing the hole, but when i convert to Polyobject appears new edges that i don´t want. Please guys i need help with this, i need to do like 150 objects like this with different sizes (client´s request) and it takes too long make one by one. Thanks for any help.
Use a tube with 4 sides
uncheck smooth
that works in some way, thanks, the only problem with this will be the size, i don´t get the right size with radios but thanks for the tip, didn´t note the smooth option.
The script has existed for almost 8 years now…
Open MAXScript Reference, find “Scripted SimpleObject Plug-ins” topic and copy&paste the example script “SquareTube” found at the bottom of the page…
(It almost feels like you are testing my knowledge of what is in the Help :D)
Thank you Bobo, i feel stupid now, i have to read more about maxscript. You have an awesome knowledge about maxscript that´s for sure. Thnask again man.
