Somewhere out there, Timothy Leary is smiling;) I don’t know why I never thought to make the same for ring select (before this thread, that is). It …

COOPER- I’ll look into that. Seems like a natural extension of the idea… RH

If all you have is a string representing a name you want to test, you could do it like this: nameString = “Box01” isValidNode (execute ((“$” + nameSt…

I don’t think you’ll be able to work with those as numbers (without the exponential notation), but since you’re just going out to a file anyway you mi…

Sure, just turn on snapping and set it to snap on vertices. If you right-click the snap button, you get a menu of what kinds of things to snap to. R…

The spline bones thing isn’t all that tricky, in fact I’m attaching a simple macroscript that does a rudimentary job of it. As for creating a spline …

Since timeStamp() returns milliseconds, you just have to go through the paces of extracting the seconds, minutes, and hours, then devising a way to “p…

There’s probably a way to do it using ‘net send’ through doscommand. Would require the Messenger service to be running on the manager box. Perhaps I…

Transform matrices are a complex subject, and require an understanding of higher mathematics that I do not possess. Nonetheless, there are some thing…

Look up dependsOn in the Maxscript reference. It tells the script which other controllers to watch so it can update interactively. RH

Unfortunately, you can’t do that. To do something like that, you’d have to write a custom extrusion routine that follows the spline, which would be f…

Hah! Your “short addition” might be longer than my answer, Bobo:p RH

– first you have to create a shape s = splineshape() – it seems backwards, but next you have to add – a spline segment to the shape idx = addNewSplin…

Yeah, I had the same results (verts stayed selected properly), I just ran out of time earlier to post. I don’t think it would be a key binding confli…
