Quad Cylinder

Since I've written a few functions to make my life easier while working on the Gear primitive (plus one that I later discarded, intended to fill holes), I figured I could just as well make a quad cylinder as a much simpler example how to tie these functions together. Enjoy and feel free to rip the code apart and reuse it.

Simple wire mesh primitive.

There's an _old version attached which will work in older max versions, and a regular one that supports picking custom shape from scene:

Helix with Bezier Handles

Just like the regular helix only with four bezier handles per turn (or more if you would like - you can control that with the Steps spinner) instead of 40 corner-points of the default Helix shape.

Creates three different guides based on the Golden Ratio 1.618, Golden
Ruler, Golden Rectangle, and Golden Spiral. The script also has tools
for quickly scaling objects based on the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio
is found in nature and is used in Art, Music, Architecture, etc...

Simple Catenary

Simple multi-point spline approximating the shape of the catenary curve (the shape formed by a hanging rope). Allows for driving the point positions by scene objects, controlling the slack by absolute sag amount or relative to the length of the line between points, randomization of the slack and other options:

NGon spline primitive created by dragging the first edge. Holding shift constraints to ortho, holding ctrl flips the shape. The original idea and implementation comes from Aslan Tamjidi, see the discussion thread for further details.
