i can do these all steps manually in 3ds max but i really wonder how should i do this in maxscript.

can i do all these in maxscript? btw, i am just a beginner in maxscript…

import 3d model which is stl file
create plane at the bottom of the model
create shape
array the shape along the model ( inside array –> type of object: copy
–> array dimensions: set 1 in 1D –> for 2D incremental row offset: i want to make a user interface where people can enter the value of in either x or y or z.
-export the arrayed shapes afterward

please help me if anyone of you about these…
cheers

Actually, you can use maxscript import/export data as long as you know what the file format exactly is .You can find something useful on maxscript reference “How to … Output Geometry Data To Text File” topic.Create shape and plane is also very easy task.Just check maxscript reference , there is a lot of examples .
