Preserve UV´s hotkey

[artemh]

Hello,

I have been searching for this for a while and just cant find anywhere. In Customize user interface menu option for setting hotkey for "Preserve UV´s" toggle. I doubt if it eaven exist.. I managed to make custom toolbar and added there two buttons for "$.preserveUVs = off" and "$.preserveUVs = on" but I would like to have it in my custom shift + rclick quad menu. Also having two buttons for this seems abit wierd. Could someone help me how i can make Quad menu or just set hotkey for Preserve UV´s. I use it a lot.

You have to define a MacroScript correctly, and execute it, which will make it available in the Customise UI dialog so you can add it to a Menu or toolbar or quad menu or assign a shortcut to it.
Start here because you need to get that part right first.

macroScript myScript category:"myScripts"
(
	if selection.count == 1 then
	(
		try ( if     selection[1].preserveUVs == off then selection[1].preserveUVs = on else selection[1].preserveUVs = off)catch()
	)	
)

 something like should be...

Thanks for the reply. That seems a bit complicated. I am not so much into max script. Didnt get that script to work.

1. Save this code to text file

2. Rename to myscript.mcr

3. Maxscript ->Run script (or drag .mcr to viewport)

4. Customize ->Customize User interface -> Category -> myScripts -> myScript (assign hotkey/qud/button or else)
