Quadrify MULTIPLE objects

By Stenrik · 2017-07-03

Description

Hi,

I have thousands of Editable Poly objects, all in tris, and I want to make them quads. I have used the "QuadrifyAll+" script here on Scriptspot, but it only works on one object at a time. (And I can do that in Graphite tools anyway.) But that is also one at a time!

I searched for one that could process multiple objects at once, and got this: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=1001629


for o in $* do (select o; PolyToolsModeling.Quadrify false false)
---
cursel = getcurrentselection()
for o in cursel do (select o; PolyToolsModeling.Quadrify false false)
select cursel

I copypasted this into a new Max script and ran. The cursor flickers a bit like it's doing something, then goes to perpetual spinning mode, and usually ends up hanging/crashing Max. When it does work, it is VERY slow. I tried it on 2 relatively simple objects and it took a good 8 minutes to complete. Any better way to do this? (I'm in 2015, BTW, Windows 7.)

Thanks.

try to save those code in new maxscript n save as ms n save it on \startup .....restart 3dsmax,,and run your code again, see if max UI freeze...It would be great if you can prepare test scene

hmm, not sure, code look ok and it should work.

Could you post or send me small part of scene to test it: pixamoon@gmail.com
