I am not able to figure out how to make the Bevel work with spinners, it may need controllers.

I am not able to figure out how to make the Bevel work with spinners, it may need controllers.

I tried, but get error:

--change bevel and height with spinners

try destroyDialog paramChanger catch()

rollout paramChanger "parameter changer" width:220 (

local obj,turbo1,bevel1,ep

spinner spn_height "change height"type:#float range:[1,300,40] scale:.1

First, try to use codeblocks when posting code samples, unformatted code makes it harder for everyone to contribute. Second, edit poly modifier needs animationMode active to be able to interactively change the parameters after setting them once, and once you commit, you can no longer control them. You don't need to enter the subobject mode either. In addition, your handlers refer to nonexistant controls, instead of spn_spn_bevel1 and spn_spn_bevel2, it should be spn_spn_bevel1 and spn_spn_bevel2:

try destroyDialog paramChanger catch() rollout paramChanger "parameter changer" width:250 ( local obj, turbo1, ep spinner spn_height "Change Height " type:#float range:[1,300,40] scale:.1 spinner spn_bevel1 "Bevel Height " type:#float range:[-10,20,7.7] scale:.001 spinner spn_bevel2 "Bevel Outline " type:#float range:[-10,20,3.2] scale:.001 spinner spn_turbo1 "TurboSmooth Iterations " type:#integer range:[0,4,2] on spn_height changed val do obj.height = val on spn_bevel1 changed val do ep.bevelHeight = val on spn_bevel2 changed val do ep.bevelOutline = val on spn_turbo1 changed val do turbo1.iterations = val on paramChanger open do ( delete objects obj = Cylinder radius:20 height:40 sides:10 heightsegs:4 isSelected:on ep = Edit_Poly animationMode:1 bevelType:2 bevelHeight:spn_bevel1.value bevelOutline:spn_bevel2.value ep.setOperation #Bevel addModifier obj ep local allFaces = #{1..ep.GetNumFaces()} ep.SetSelection #Face (allFaces - #{1, ep.GetNumFaces()}) ep.SetOperation #Bevel turbo1 = TurboSmooth iterations:2 addModifier obj turbo1 ) ) createDialog paramChanger
