Ok, quick question. So I have created objects in max using maxscript, converted it to a poly and chamfer/extrude/beveled/inset base off what is showing in the maxscript listener. My question is this though, is there a better, more efficient way to create and object?
For instance, let’s say I want to create a cylinder, capseg 1, height 3, radius 1.5. I then want to convert it to poly, select the bottom face, inset .5, extrude -2 and then select both rings of edges on the bottom and chamfer by .1
I can do this already using the commands that maxlistener gives me, but is there an easier/faster way to code these for creation?
Thanks
create splineshape profile and add lathe modifier
not exactly what I’m looking for per say.
is there a way to streamline this process like the one listed below?
mybox = box length:(8*spn_rows.value) width:(8*spn_columns.value) height:(brickheight())
select mybox
ConvertTo $ Editable_Poly
Max modify mode
subobjectLevel = 4
$.EditablePoly.SetSelection #Face #{1}
$.insetAmount = 1.5
$.EditablePoly.buttonOp #inset
$.faceExtrudeHeight = (-brickheight()+1)
$.EditablePoly.buttonOp #extrude
subobjectLevel = 2
$.EditablePoly.SetSelection #Edge #{5..12}
$.edgeChamfer = 0.1
$.EditablePoly.buttonOp #Chamfer
subobjectLevel = 0
