Improved Face Weighted Normals
IMPROVED FACE WEIGHTED NORMALS
This script is a must have for medium polygon modeling.
Weighted Vertex Normals or Face Weighted Normals use the area of the face to tune the vertexs normals.
This script does this for you with just one click.
Unlike others FWN Scripts, this one considers coplanar faces like they were a unique big face
You can disable this feature to get an standard FWN result, or tune threshold for not completely flat surfaces

-Big speed improvement on large models: Time needed to build now grows linearly with face number instead of exponentially
-Bug fix: sometimes you had to manually delete previously generated modifier if you need to regenerate it, now you don't

How to create a button
Create a new file and rename it to IFWNormalsFree.ms and copy this:
macroScript IFWNormals
category:"Cattomic"
tooltip:"IFW Normals"
(
on execute do
(
fileIn "IFWNormalsFree.mse"
)
)
Then copy this new file and .mse to your 3ds maxscript folder and run the ms one
RE: Difference
Free version has no angle threshold, and larger polys take longer. Free version is not for commercial use either.
Works well
Thank you for offering a free version, I will definitely pick it up having tried it out.
Like x_OL, I Would also like to know what this comes under in the tool bar.
Cheers.

How to make button for free version?
Hi!
How to make button for free version? I can't find own category of your script in "Customize user interface -> Toolbars". Copying text of script and draging it to the button is impossible too - because it is .mse file type - it compiled.
