Hi,

I'm trying to create control objects with simple spline objects and wire parametring. I want to limit control object movements to -100 to 100 for example. (to keep controller inside of the cage)How I do that?

Here you can download max7 scene and screen capture image.

hi,

look at my morph controls script - to do it all you have to do is make a 2way parameter wire between your object and a custom attribute (slider - spinner) and write an expression to convert the distance of the slder object to be relavant to the CA.

you will need max 7 to open the example file but you can use the script with lower versions
if you have any questions please direct them to the thread above
