Make parallel edges

Thank you!

fantastic, need say mone?

that's wouldbe helpful, much thanks!

I'm running max 2009 64 bit and can't seem to get this to work. I run the script and enter plDist=2 in the listner, but nothing happens. What's up?

Sorry, got it working!

Nice script!

Help Pls.

For few simple objects its working fine, but for complex objects it creating more vertices and edges than it should create.

Even in some simple object like primitive box it is creating overlapped vertices and few extra vertices in the middle of the edge..

Could you please let me know whether its a issue from your side or mine.

thanks!谢谢

Script was attached as a txt file (see attachments area above) ... To use, rename .mcr.txt to just .mcr ...

Where can i find the script to download it?

it's a pleasure to give feedback. i think it's about time that i learn a bit of maxscript as only this way is it possible to create commands which should really be native to max.

one other thing - if it could be used as a modifier, that would make it superb (e.g. change edge distance interactively and make the distance modifiable)

not to worry if you don't have time though - still very useful

thanks again

Man, this script is great! it saves a ton of time trying to manually tighten edges for NURMS. thank you!

Hi Shroomer, thanks for your interest about this stuff.

Your ideas seem to be reasonable, in fact I think about same things 😆

This features will be included in the next version.

also, i'm not familiar with maxscript, so it would be nice if you could set the distance in a pop up box rather than in the listener.

hi IN_human, this script is fantastic - i tried it on some relatively simple stuff and it works well - requires welding of verts afterwards as some aren't but this can be done globally and only takes a few seconds - maybe you could write this step into the script?

thanks!
