sorry i post code error =)))

modPanel.addModToSelection (Turn_to_Mesh ()) ui:on
$Box02.modifiers[#Turn_to_Mesh].selectionConversion = 2
modPanel.addModToSelection (Edit_Mesh ()) ui:on

to

modPanel.addModToSelection (Turn_to_Mesh ()) ui:on
$.modifiers[#Turn_to_Mesh].selectionConversion = 2
$.modifiers[#Turn_to_Mesh].selectionLevel = 3
modPanel.addModToSelection (Edit_Mesh ()) ui:on

googlo, ok i shall try do this…

2LoOp, your script works fine with some shapes and doesn’t work with other (like a simple poly cube).
With this shape it works! :shrug:

@ neox
sorry.
i totally misunderstood you, too. i thought you were talking about the whole thread.
my english is also very “eingeschlafen”

@ 2LoOp
thanks for joining.

@ all
i am really glad that this thread has so many response. keep it up.

Hi everybody!! Its really nice from you that you are writing scripts like this! I think many maxers appreciate it!

Regarding max´s display of SubDs I read somewhere that max actually doesnt have true SubD and algorithms are very old and slow (since max 2.5) compared to competition so thats probably the reason why model wires looks like this :thumbsdow (just my opinion) I know shit about tech. aspect of them so correct me if Im wrong.

However I ve found max´s poly tools are the great in terms of workflow so keep trying guys it could be definetely huge improvement!!!

Well, its time to shut up…

Just wanted to say thank you

Neox: Ok cool! Dan is dat ook weer uit de wereld

Libor: check this thread for some more info on SubD’s very interresting -> Subd’s

2loop: Some general tips, don’t use “$” but “selection” or “selection[1]” it is easy then to loop trough a selection, with $ it would be hard! Look it up in the manual!

Cheers JHN

You had me at ‘hi’.:love:

so this is final version on today

separate thanks to googlo for his “Smooth Polylines Thing”
whence i have stolen several things

JHN i never before write scripts :rolleyes:

hehe i hope so

Any new updates? I just found this and I find it really neat, and possibly greatly useful. If its true, what LFShade said, that it would have to be a .dll, I wish someone could write it anyways, nice work on the scripting people!
