Hey ive been wondering. i set a hotkey for set flow in max 2012, and when i try to do this with an edge i get a maxscript error, saying

"Setflow wanted 1, got 2"
i imagine because its trying to do this for vertices when edges is selected

do i have to set a separate hotkey for set flow for edges?

As far as I know, the script is just plain broken since 2011. In that Maxscript window that pops up, comment out the bit that says something about keyboard false (something like /* keyboard.keypressed false */ - I can't remember the exact code), and you'll be able to use the hotkey again.

ah ok. thanks. i had been using 2010 before this so i guess i never ran into that before. ill give it a shot.
