This maxscript was written and tested in StudioMax version 6 and version 3. If you have success or failure on additional versions - please let me know via our help page. The dialog menu lets you control three sub-selection levels of your mesh. A percent spinner dial along with the ability to add or subtract from a selection make this tool very handy for a wide variety of purposes.
