Description

Make Planar Advanced works like this:
Select one or more objects/components and generate a projection plane from them. After that you can move/project any selected objects/components to that plane, either directly or in specific coordinate modes / axis. Basically the point is to give a lot more freedom in how you flatten a surface compared to what's possible with the standard 'Make Planar' or scale to zero features already in Max.

can't run script and use the tool

Hey, I really like your tool and downloaded already, but after I followed your install instruction, when i am trying to use it, got an error:Compile error: can't find include file: genericFunctions.mse

My install steps is:
1.move polyhertz folders to c:\program files\autodesk\3ds max 2018\scripts
2.run makePlanarAdvanced.mcr in max

Also tried max 2017, but show same error. Any tips?

Should be fixed

Hey dannnnT, just uploaded a new version of the script that should fix the issue you were having.
