Reset Xref/Collapse/Edit Poly
aaouviz:
I'm a big fan of speeding up my workflow as much as possible... I'm not great with scripting but I get by with basic skills.
One thing I've never been able to figure out is how to make a multi-command script (accessible by toolbar button OR hotkey OR both?) is:
- (with selected object)
- Reset Xref, then
- Collapse, then
- Convert to Edit Poly
I find myself doing this hundreds of times when setting up a new imported file.
Does this tool exist? If not, are there any super smart scripters out there that can quickly help me out?
Thanks for any tips!
James Vella:
I assume you mean Reset Xform instead of Reset Xref?
You could do this for multiple objects by using this code:
--- Code: ---for obj in selection do
(
ResetXForm obj
ConvertToPoly obj
)
--- End code ---
Copy this into your Maxscript editor:
Then drag and drop to your toolbar, it will create a button
You can then right click on that button, change the icon/name etc.

Hi James - you are indeed right with your assumption... ugh I'm obviously tired...
I'll test this out and let you know how I go. A million thanks for the help mate!
James Vella:
No probs
aaouviz:
Oddly enough, every time I drag into the toolbar Max decides to crash.
I've made previous little script toolbar buttons with the following code (and adding the toolbar button via the settings)
macroScript 'NAME'
category:"AAScripts"
toolTip:""
( code here
)
I tried adapting this with your code but getting errors.
Any idea where I'm going wrong?
