Maxscript-weld vertices

Anonymous — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 04:43:12 GMT

Hello,
I'm fairly new at writing maxscripts and I'm hoping someone out there can help me.

This is what I need to do.

-I need to select all objects in the scene one by one in an array
-convert each object to an editable mesh
-select all vertices within that object
-weld all vertices with a variable threshhold

Thank You in advance.

Please remember that this is a peer-to-peer forum, users only here - it's not a shortcut to AME support - so you're dependent on a user with knowledge of your particular question seeing the thread and being in a position to respond.

Note that if you want to be able to vary the Threshold value you will complicate the script considerably.
All the information is in the Maxscript help though it's sometimes not easy to find.


for Obj in $Geometry do
    (
    convertToMesh Obj
    meshop.weldVertsByThreshold Obj Obj.verts 10.0    
    )
