Hi There

Im very new to Max Script and am looking for some help

Im trying to create a UI and im needing to make various shapes using a drop down list.
Basically i want to select an object from the drop down list and it will make it in max.
This is what ive got so far:
try (destroydialog test_button) catch ()

rollout test_button "Reset Max"
(

button theButton "Reset Max"---Creates Button

on theButton pressed do---When pressing Button
resetMaxFile #noprompt---Resets Max File

This is one of the ways you can use. 


on scale_dd selected i do
(
	execute (scale_dd.selected + "()")
)

Thanks
