By Edge loop regularizer for Edit Poly. This script is an extended version of the well known edge loop regularizer script. This version has a ported part of the original script that can handle edit poly objects. The only drawback is that it can be slower when you are planning to use it on an edit poly object, because how max is handling edit poly modifiers. If you are planning to use it on an edit poly modifier, it might better to detach the part you want to regularize, and than attach it back when you finished the modification.
UPDATE: a little bug has been solved, when you run the script first on an edit poly object.

issues in max 2025
dont know what the issue is but at least 50 percent of the time it produces deformations on curved surfaces.
tried with a simple sphere. select 4 quads -> regularize.
it works the first time, mostly.
then i select the next 4 quads and it it most likely will not work.
when i try it a dozend times and it maybe work 4-5 times... the other times the faces look rotated.
i tried all kind of coordinate systems, local, parent, view, world etc.... does not help.
doesn't work on edit poly modifier.
max version 2018 doesnt work on edit poly modifier

Reference Coordinate System
Works pretty good in 3dsmax2020 if reference coordinate system is not set to "Screen" or "Local".
Rotation Issue
I have some rotation problem going on here, anyone knows where it may comes from?

Edge without Loop Regularizer
It's very handy for work flow.
can you make it Regularize without loop.
like road edges round corner
Thank you
Not working with max2018
Working absolutely fine in max2018 for me.
I just copied the MS file into:
C:/Program Files/Autodesk/3ds Max 2018/scripts/Startup
The category can be found in customize UI under 'rapid tools' - I then just added it as a button into the 'loop' panel on my modelling ribbon. Works absolutely fine.
does it working on edit poly modifier?
@luxxeon & Royal Ghost
Thank you.
The problem was that I installed the scripts (this one and the regular one for editable polys), but i didn't know that "run scripts" didn't actually run scripts and I didn't know where to find the scrips in the "Customize UI list".
Thank you so much again :)
3ds Max 2017 not compatible?
I have 3ds Max 2017 and the script is not working at all. I tryed to drag on the viewport and nothing happens; tryed to run the script and nothing happens. Anyone could help me?
@Andrea, check this post http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/tutorials/script-installation-in-3ds-max
I installed it, and it showed up under RapidTools category in my Customize UI list. Seems to be working ok on 3dsMax 2017 with all updates and hotfixes.

Thank you! It works!
3ds Max 2014 compatible
3ds Max 2014 it works perfectly.Thanks!

I installed in 3ds max 2014 in the Scripts folder but still does not work, even opening it in max scripts it does not work, any tips for it to work, I think I'm doing something wrong.
Moved to:

Bug
Ok a user has notified me, that the script had a bug. I corrected it already, so it will work properly. When you used the script first on a freshly started max on an edit poly modifier, the script won't run. (A simple currentModIndex declaration was missing at that case, that has been corrected now.)
doesn't work
hey can you re-upload the updated 2.01 script please? i'm getting this kind of error:
Type error: modifier array index must be number or name, got: undefined
the original script by gart works in my 3ds max 2016 (for regular editpolys).
Ok. Not it works... ;)Thank
Ok. Not it works... ;) (uploaded the new version yesterday)
Thanks for the feedback anyway!
I submitted the link know. :)
The comments were perfectly enough! :) Just mxs behavior was a little tricky to port it to edit poly class too. :)
But it's working know. Enjoy! ;)
A pity this script does nothing in 3ds Max 2016
Well done, pi3c3.
And sorry for the lack of comments in the code ;)
Is it available?
Has the change been added to the original Regularize download, or is it a separate download? Don't see a link to a separate package here.
