"Array of common values of the non-empty arrays"-question

Submitted by Ralf on Wed, 2023-08-23 12:28

Hello. I have a question:

I have 4 ui-spinners (which are blank Indeterminate: true) and 4 empty Arrays.
changing a spinner fills up an Array.

for example 3 spinner have a value:

	Marr = #(1,2,3,4,5)
	Rarr = #(3,4,5,6,7,8)  /*just changed */
	Larr = #()
	Tarr = #(4,5,6)

I want to create a 5th Array which contains all the common values of the non-empty arrays

    ComArr = #(4,5)

with 2 Array i can do:

	ComArr = #()
	If Marr.count >= 1 do (
		Locarr = #()
		for j=1 to Marr.count do (
			N = findItem Rarr Marr[j]

"Easy way" to check if object have not reseted transform

Submitted by barigazy on Sat, 2013-02-23 12:24

Objects that have been scaled or mirrored at the object level, attached also will result in a transform matrix that doesn't have all of its axes at right angles to each other. I looking the way to find out which scene objects have bed transform
and reset their transform.

I don't know is this right way

fn doRXF obj = 
(
	if obj.transform as string != obj.objectTransform as string do 
	(
		obj.pivot = obj.center
		ResetXForm obj
		convertToPoly obj -- this is optional
	)
)

"isFolderEmpty" function

Submitted by barigazy on Sun, 2013-12-29 11:02

Does anyone know what is the best way to check if some directory is empty or not.
This fn need to be very "light" for efficient use within a for-loop. I already have a solution but I'm curious if there better solution.
This fn need to have only one argument which represent directory path.
Something like this

fn isFolderEmpty folder:/*path String*/ = ( )

"Make Paths Absolute"

Submitted by JezUK on Sun, 2022-01-09 07:27

In the Asset Tracking Dialog box there is a "Make Paths Absolute" option for selected assets in a 3DS Max scene.

Is there anyway to make this the default for all assets so that I don't need to go into this dialog box for every project?

If so, could someone please help me to code this?

Many thanks.
