Broken/missing function: Unwrap_UVW.snap()

senorpablo — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 19:55:55 GMT

I can't get this to work. I get the error: -- Unknown property: "snap" in Unwrap_UVW:Unwrap UVW. Is this just a missing / broken function, or am I doing something wrong?

I've tried many things, but this is a general test case:

b = box() u = unwrap_uvw() addmodifier b u max modify mode modPanel.setCurrentObject u u.edit() b.unwrap_uvw.snap()

From Maxscript help:

<void><Unwrap_UVW>.snap()

Presses the Snap button in the edit floater.

Exposed via unwrap interface in 3ds Max 4 and higher.

something goes wrong...

what max version do you use?

try these lines one by one in the max script listener:

b = box() u = unwrap_uvw() addmodifier b u b.unwrap_uvw.snap() u.snap()

they should all work in any max version.

I'm using Max 2020.

Listener results:

Are you looking for .snapToggle()?

Yes, thank you!

None of the Maxscript documentation I referenced 2020-2022 lists anything other than Snap() for that command--which is incorrect. Showproperties doesn't list the command either. How/where did you figure out it the correct function is SnapToggle()?

Macrorecorder is the fast option, or if you know roughly what you're looking for and macrorecorder won't help, you can use showInterfaces $.unwrapuvw and search through the output.
