Remove Isolated Vertices script ?

[Javadevil]

I'm after a script that can select delete isolated vertices and center pivot point on editpoly and editmesh ( but not lofts, sweeps and objects with modifiers on them)

I have models coming from Archicad exported with the lumion exporter, theres isolated vertices all over the place, making the scene hard to handle.
Selecting all of the models and applying edtipoly or editmesh takes 3dsmax a long time, selecting isolated vertices, hitting delete and centering pivot point.
So i have to do it in batches, but a script would be very handy 🙂

To remove isolated verts from editable mesh/poly objects:

for obj in objects do case (classOf obj) of (Editable_Poly: polyop.deleteIsoVerts obj; Editable_Mesh: meshop.deleteIsoVerts obj)

To center pivot for all selected objects:

centerPivot selection

In both cases, you can replace objects with selection and vice versa to operate either on selected objects only or all objects in the scene.

Thanks for that, I will try it out when I get a spare minute, all these last minute Christmas deadlines !!!

Hello @Javadevil,

I just wanted to follow up here, any progress on this issue?  Did the script from @Swordslayer work for you?  Thanks for the update!

Best Regards,

This works great, thanks !!!

Now I just need a reset xform too 🙂

I opened the listener to see if it would log a command but failed to see it.

Reset XForm:

resetXForm selection

And a couple of other commands before you ask:

collapseStack selection
convertToPoly selection

Thanks Sword Slayer,

No how do I put that all together in one script ? 

I've been copy pasting into the the listener, hitting enter, for each one, that works.

I tried putting it all into the Maxscript window as a .ms file but I guess its not working since I don't have the brackets and whatever else is required.

cheers

Just tried your instantmesh bridge, nice one !! I think this will be very useful.

I have previously used populate terrain, which is pretty good, but fails sometimes, really depends on the quality of the mesh to begin with.

Putting it all together shouldn't be any more complicated than copy-pasting it in the script the right order and replacing 'selection' with 'objects' or vice versa, depending on your use case. No additional brackets neccessary here. Do you get any error when evaluating that?
