Vertex to shape

21 votes

This is a script I did for a co-worker. It takes a vertex selection and turns that into a shape. It is the same as taking an edge loop and converting it to a shape but with less button clicks. Actually that is how it is scripted as well. It takes a vertex selection and converts it to a edge selection and then shrinks it to get the right edge loop. Then it just converts the edge to a shape. Pretty simple but it might help your work flow if you need something like this often enough.

Weld Autosmooth

0 votes

Overall functionality and advantages

  • The script welds separated vertices and later autosmooths the faces if it's needed
  • It is very useful when you have imported the file that was generated in other software and the vertices are somehow separated
  • You can use these two actions (welding and autosmoothing) together or separately
  • Saves time when you have a lot of objects that need welding and later autosmoothing
  • The script can work on entire scene or just the selection

Bevel Switcher

0 votes

This is a quick and simple script that lets you set the bevel type with a hotkey so you no longer need to open up the bevel settings dialog. Works with any Editable Poly object or with any Edit Poly modifier.

Install the macroscript and you'll find it listed under the Burke Studios category. Assign this macroscript to a hot key so that you can access it quickly. The script uses a timer to determine which bevel mode to enable:

1. Hit the hot key ONCE and the bevel type will be set to -Local Normal
2. Hit the hot key TWICE quickly and the bevel type will be set to -By Polygon
