* Adds new option for how to handle materials: match material IDs, exclude material IDs

* Converted to C++.

is it possible to write in

is it possible to write in c++ (for max 2015) a modifier that can inset, bevel, extrude and maybe do some other operations based on smoothing groups, material ids, etc etc? It would be cool if you could add a stack of operations inside the modifier in a list like operands in a proboolean object.

for example:
1st op - inset
2nd op - bevel out
3rd op - inset
4th op extrude in
5th op - delete face

selecting any one of those operations would bring up the parameters for it in the ui. I can see something like that being quite powerful and i'd happily pay for that.

One of my needs was being able to add arbitrary sets of MatIDs/SmoothingGroups and keep it topology independent. Using multiple VolSel was klunky, which is a primary reason I built this tool.

.

For lower versions, use Volume Select and its Surface > Material ID or Sm Group parameters. To exclude, check Invert, to use multiple IDs/smoothing groups, add multiple volume select modifiers with Add/Subtract as a selection method.
