I need a script that I can run to set smoothing groups to 0. This is what I have right now and its just not working.
(
(if (selection.count > 0) then – Start of if
for i in selection do (
(
resetXform i; –Reset Xfrom cammand.
modPanel.setCurrentObject
i.modifiers[#XForm]
maxOps.CollapseNode i off
subobjectLevel = 0
convertTo i PolyMeshObject
– i.EditablePoly
– i.EditablePoly.SetSelection #Vertex#{1…2346}
– i.weldThreshold = 0.001
– i.buttonOp #weldSelected
addmodifier i (vertex_weld threshold:0.001)
maxOps.CollapseNode i off
i.EditablePoly.setSmoothingGroups 0
)
)
else
(
messagebox “To reset Xform please select an object!”
) – end of if
)
)
here is the error.
– Error occurred in i loop
– Frame:
– i: $rodon_vill_ext_wallpannels_caps_03_02
– called in anonymous codeblock
– Frame:
– Argument count error: setSmoothingGroups wanted 3, got 1
Help would be great!!!
also on another note, is there away to set import defaults with maxscript?
thanks!
for n in selection as array where iskindof n Editable_Poly do
(
n.selectedfaces = #{1..n.numfaces}
n.setSmoothingGroups 0 -1 1
)
This is one of the ways to do it in Maxscript.
Select the objects and run/evaluate this script. :)
for o in selection do
(
theObj = o.baseObject
numOfFaces = polyop.getnumfaces theObj
for i = 1 to numOfFaces do
(
polyop.setFaceSmoothGroup theObj i 0
)
)
completeRedraw() /*not needed, but useful*/
gc()
Or, you can do it w/ modifiers (add Smooth modifier to every object in selection, and by default, it'll clear the smoothing groups ([b]and seems to use much less memory[/b]).
(
if selection.count >= 1 then
(
for o in selection do if superClassOf o == geometryClass do
(
addModifier o (Smooth autosmooth: off)
convertToPoly o
)
)
)
That was awesome! Works perfect. Thank you so much!
Glad to hear! Helping others helps me get better at Maxscript, so it’s a win-win!
