[Closed] in need of a script for max 8

Already exist, Solid Chanfer from Meshtools, but in max 8 don’t work

any chance someone knows how to fix meshtools for max 8???..specificly solid chamfer…I used that alot

Is the effect you are looking for like doing a poly extrude edge, with a 0 (zero) height? Could you share a pic of the desired result.

Hi,
to make it work in Max8,
In the file Meshtools3-Functions.ms or Meshtools-Functions.ms (in stdplugs/stdscripts)
replace the line:
polyop.chamferEdges thisObj theseEdges 0.001
by
thisObj.editablePoly.chamferEdges 0.001

Note: This is very strange :

create a box, convert to poly
polyop.chamferedges $ #{1} 1.0
->– Argument count error: chamferVerts wanted 4, got 3
chamferVerts ??? 4 aruments ???
anyone has a clue ?

blue, this is what zbuffer is talking about:

solid chamfer is crucial when defining edges! and I need it too for max8!
It would be great if someone with some script experience would take a short look into this issue?!

cheers
Michael

ok, now I got it. of course I tested it the script change with a converted box :argh: and got the error. but in general, it seems to work. But is much slower on higher poly geometry, IMHO

thanks
Michael

The end result there looks exactly the same as a poly edge extrude with a zero height. That should be fairly easy to implement as a script. Thanks for sharing a pic. When I have a moment I will try to throw something together.

excellent…works again…thank you very much

or try take a look on “chamfer madness” on scriptspot… a script i wrote for a year or to ago
