[Closed] Undocumented Maxscript Unwrap functions

Hi,

   In 'stdplugs\stdscripts\modifier_uvwunwrap_dialog.ms' (3dsmax 2010)
   The event handlers for Loop,Ring Align and space buttons call functions that don't show in the Maxscript help (even a search yields no result), or else I'm blind.
  
   So I thought I should share these really usefull functions, and hint our master Bobo ;) to include them in the next release.

unwrapMod = modpanel.getcurrentobject() -- Unwrap UVW modifier
 
 unwrapMod.uvLoop 0 -- select uv Loop
  unwrapMod.uvLoop 1 -- grow uv Loop
  unwrapMod.uvLoop -1 -- shrink uv Loop
       
  unwrapMod.uvRing 0 -- select uv Ring
  unwrapMod.uvRing 1 -- grow uv Ring
  unwrapMod.uvRing -1 -- shrink uv Ring
       
  unwrapMod.align true -- Align U
  unwrapMod.align false -- Align V
       
  unwrapMod.space true -- Space evenly in U
  unwrapMod.space false -- Space evenly in V

Those methods show up if you run ‘showinterfaces (Unwrap_UVW())’

I diffed the results from Max2009 and Max2010 and found two other new entries – a getter/setter pair for the ‘TweakMode’

According to showinterfaces, the undocumented additions are:

  <boolean>getTweakMode()
  <void>setTweakMode <boolean>on
  <void>uvLoop <integer>mode
  <void>uvRing <integer>mode
  <void>align <boolean>horizontal
  <void>space <boolean>horizontal
