well, that drawing didn’t come out so well:( but here is a link to the other thread with an example image in it:

Bobo, I think LFShade did something similar in CleanCut script, because it highlights edges and vertices as the mouse passes over. Although no raymes…

do something like: while not eof myfile do ( … ) <allonym>

Try using mouseTrack instead. You can orbit the view without deactivating the tool, and it also does the intersectray stuff for you. <allonym>

Maxscript defines the globals maxFileName and maxFilePath. That oughta do it <allonym>

objects have a .children property which returns an array of the object’s children. I don’t recall if you can set the .children property directly, but…

At this time, I don’t think it’s possible to initiate a connection to a db directly through maxscript. You may be able to use DOSCommand to execute a…

One might assume that since this question was asked in the maxscript forum, the author may have wanted a maxscript answer Triangles is easy: $.mesh….

Rivendale, Your second (third) though is correct! I misinterpreted the image you attached, and now understand that the verts in question would result…

Rivendale, You’re showing a case in which 3 verts share more than one polygon, which is probably quite common. However, the mesh is triangulated, and …

Thanks, Martijn! The speed gain seems almost negligible, but I do find the code a lot cleaner. It’s pretty fast, though, clocking in at around .04 …

The below script is ~4 times faster than Martijn’s, by casual testing using timestamp(). Here’s how it works: get a bitarray of polys for each vert …

Angles are expressed in Max as quaternions (by default). Quaternions are complex, but in simplified terms they consist of two components: an axis, an…

The answer, of course, is no. But what on earth would you want to do that for anyway? maxscript’s sole purpose is to automate various tasks within 3…
