MaxScript - create 2D pattern

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm new in 3ds Max programation.

I want to adapt Inventor Ilogic program to MaxScript program.

In Ilogic i do a "RectangularPattern" and i don't know how can i do this in MaxScript.

I just want to "pattern" or "array" a selection in 2D

Can anyone help me

Thanks

What's the advanced logic you want to implement that you want use maxscript for that? I suppose you know there's the Array tool under Tools menu?

Yes I know the Array tool, but I want to automatise an assembly of boxes (like brick wall) that can change often

I just need to do a 2D Array of one or few boxes.

Thanks

So you want to be able to come back and change the parameters? In that case, as you say you're a beginner, MCG might be better for the task with its node based approach. You can for example modify this to your needs: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/mcg/brick-wall-builder
