Hotkey

Hi,
How do I find it in the list to assign a hotkey?

Thanks

Make a macroscript calling 

startObjectCreation RectangleByEdge

- after restarting max, you should be able to assign shortcut to it. I've attached the macro for simplicity, the category name is Shortcuts.

The script itself should be placed in the stdscripts directory for this to work.

Nice man, very handy!

This is great - works exactly as you'd want it to, why in gods name has max not got this really basic functionality already!

Thank you, Swordslayer.

the ms file isnt run in the max9 AND MAX2011

Swordslayer · 2018-05-14

Those are pretty ancient versions... anyway, now it should support even max 4 - enjoy.

Such a great idea !

igamaximus · 2018-05-28

But somehow i keep getting this error in Max 2012 x64.
Can you please check and tell me what may be the problem?

Thank you Swordslayer !
