open/break ~400 splines

Submitted by Holzi on Sat, 2014-04-05 06:32

Hi there,

this should be a really simple script. But I can't fathom out how to do this:
I need to open up a couple of hundred splines. They are all closed but I need them now to be open. I use them as a spline for forest pack. Exploding them will not bring the right result. They need to stay intact, but need to be open.

I was thinking of selecting every first vertex of every spline and braking that.
However I don't know how to select the vertex by number nor what the break function is. MaxScript recorder will only show me the subObjectlevel = 1 but not what happens after that.

Any help is much appreciated

.

For some reason ths code below will open only the last spline in the selection.
TRy to fix it. :)

(
	splinesArr = for s in selection where classOf s == SplineShape or classOf s == Line collect s
	for s in 	splinesArr do
	(
		select s
		max modify mode
		splineNum = numSplines s
		if splineNum > 0 do
		(
			for n = 1 to splineNum do
			(
				subobjectlevel = 1
				setKnotSelection s n #(1) keep:true
			)
			splineOps.startBreak s
			updateShape s
		)
	)
)
