Description

Polyline Pro is an easy to use yet powerful and intuitive tool which provides a clear and efficient user interface to create splines precisely with measurements and angles in a manner similar to AutoCAD. The main purpose of Polyline Pro is to bring the spline drawing in 3dsMax at a higher level.  

With Polyline Pro you can:
    • draw splines in Orthographic, Polar, Arc and Freehand mode
    • create points using Absolute or Relative coordinates
    • use direct distance entry - point in desired direction and type the length and/or the angle to create a segment
    • edit splines
    • use guides and tooltips
    • use short commands for quick access to almost all of the features
    • use Object Snaps to mark certain points/lines and continue to draw in their projection or intersection
    • draw spline using World Coordinate System or User Coordiante System

 


This is commersial script. You can find more information here.

- the actual length of the segment(the length of the curve).
