I switch to max 2020 and win10 and I can't move my script window

Submitted by titane357 on Mon, 2019-08-26 07:46

Hi,
I made some scripts using Rolloutfloater like :
"
(...)
RF = newRolloutFloater "B" 130 620 580 80
addRollout RONE RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RTWO RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RTHREE RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RFIVE RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RSIX RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RSEVEN RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RFOUR RF rolledUp:false
"
I switched to max 2020 and win10.
All scripts work fine, I can open rollouts and use tools, but I can't move the whole window...
A little square appear at the place of the name when I try....

Any idea ? Thanks.

Conform Script - Point Projection on Surface seems to work strange

Submitted by EliderDeli on Mon, 2018-05-28 01:43

Hi Guys, I allready got a great support from the Forum!!! Im working on a Conform Script right know which I plan to use as a modifier. The Problem at the moment ist that the Plane Projection creates strange placing of my vertices. Basicly I search for the three enarest Vertices fro every vertice in my Object. Then I make a Point Projection on theSurface.

fn checkNearestEdge SelectedVerticeID =
(
oV = SelectedVerticeID.pos
pairs = for o in refObj.selectedVerts collect #(length(o.pos-oV), o.index ) --pairs distance and vertexpos
qsort pairs sortByDist --indexes and sorts

Open All groups (and sub-groups)

Submitted by caebrasil on Wed, 2011-01-26 06:47

Hi everybody!

I need to create a script to simplify my work. I need to open all groups in the scene, but it means all sub-groups too (groups inside antoher group). Something like a loop in the command "Select All" and "Group Open", until open all groups, that's what I'm doing manually.
To close is simple, one time command, but to open...
I don't know script, my only experience are recording actions and create scripts with it. Very, very, very basic...

Can anyone help me?

Regards,

Caetano Brasil

Can't edit the “Main Toolbar”

Submitted by othoap on Sun, 2007-04-01 18:06

Can't edit the “Main Toolbar”? I
would like to ether delete some buttons from the main toolbar. Or I
have started a new main toolbar but there are some tools unavailable
from the original, such as Selection Filter, Reference Coordinate
System, and so on. I thought all was available via “Customize”

Make a 4 vertices poly with 3 selected vertices

Submitted by titane357 on Wed, 2021-10-13 02:26

Hi

I want to make a new poly face with 4 vertices with 3 selected vertices.
( see pict )

SV = #()
SV = polyOp.getVertSelection $ as array
pt1 = polyOp.getVert $ SV[1]
pt2 = polyOp.getVert $ SV[2]
pt3 = polyOp.getVert $ SV[3]
DIST = pt3 - pt2   --- here
NP =  pt1 + DIST   --- and here
pt4 = polyop.createVert $ NP
append SV pt4
polyOp.createPolygon $ #( SV[1] , SV[2] , SV[3] , SV[4])
redrawViews()

It works in some situation, but as I'm a s### in maths, I don't know how to locate the 4th vertex in space...
If anybody could help. Thanks.

How to select specific vertices on a spline (so I can manipulate them) ?

Submitted by JezUK on Sat, 2021-10-16 06:59

I've got a very simple shape that I want to write an automated script for.

I want to select the two lowest vertices (they will both be on the same height on the z-axis, say maybe 0), and I want to invert that selection so I have all the other vertices and move those up the z-axis a particular amount.

How can I find my two lowest vertices in my spline?

PS - I am a newbie in MaxScripting and am going through AutoDesk's MaxScript Essentials book, but I can't see it in there.

Many thanks.
