"This script allows to convert any selected Spline object(s) to MAXScript code that will recreate them.

This macroscript lets you select a spline and generate one or more splines with a specified offset. Unlike the 3DS MAX offset function in 'Editable Spline' - this offset spline detached from the original spline.

Check the 'consecutive' checkbox to keep the result selected.

Cam Spline 1.0.0

Please note: This script was written and uploaded here before the release of 3dsMax 2013, which now includes an 'egg' spline shape.

What it does:
Cam Spline is an interactive, parametric spline tool which produces spline shapes based on two circles joined by two straight or curved lines, or a 'cam' shape. Cam Spline faithfully keeps the intersections at a true tangent, regardless of the diameter of the circles or the distance between them.

How to use:
The basics are really simple:

Sets selected vertices in a spline to smooth and then bezier - something I often do in two steps by hand. Only works on base level editable splines or lines.

Contour Creator

Creates a series of contours from a selected mesh. Has the option of combining all contours and welding any vertices within the Threshold amount which although slow - gives a far better end result as otherwise the contours are composed of many small splines with coincident vertices.

This is a function so that scripters can create shape objects easier.

This script alows you select similar splines in subobject. It doesnt work very well yet but it works :)

Detach Splines

Breaks the selected shape object (Line or Editable Spline) into as many objects as there were splines in the original object. Unlike the other explode scripts, this one doesn't try to rebuild the splines point by point and instead duplicates the object and deletes all the other splines, which means they all keep the original attributes like material, material ID, interpolation settings, renderable settings and so on.

This tool generates dashed lines out of arbitrary splines.
Select a spline and press 'generate'.
If the Spline is consisting of mupltiple sub-splines - a dashed line for every spline is generated.
The length field displays the length of the first spline.
Rotation changes the alignment to the path from 0 to 90 degrees.
