patches

[Ruz]

Just a quick question about max patches. I miss using functions like 'align to view' and 'make planar' when using edit poly . Would it be 'reeeally' hard to make these work with patches using max script.
I don't want to even investigate this if its unfeasibly difficult.

I tried doing a workaround with grids, but it doesnt really work.

Best thing I can think of is to work with polys then convert to patches for the curves.

yeah cheers dave. patches are a pain, but would be less painful if the toolset was complete.

it would be easy to script, if autodesk hadnt forgotten to publish the "get suboject selections" functions to maxscript.
Via c++ you can access which vertices are selected, but in maxscript they forgot... one could publish that function with a plugin so.

ok cheeers CrazyButcher . I will try and hassle our programmers for this.
