I've just downloaded polyBridge for Maya 6.5 from t::REDs website (www.sliker.org (http://www.sliker.org)), and the plugin has been sucessfully loaded. But when I press Make Bridge, Maya gives me an error:

// Error: file: C:/Documents and Settings/Blue Bird/My Documents/maya/bluebird/plugins/nt/6.5/polyBridge/polyBridge.mel line 81: Cannot find procedure "performPolyBridge". //

Obviously, the error is caused by calling performPolyBridge in the script when it doesn't exist. And here is the confusing part: in the readme file that comes with the plugin, it says that polyBridge is based on performPolyBridge. So why is the script stilling calling performPolyBridge? Anyway, I couldn't get it to work so I'm wondering if anyone can help.

Thanks everyone!

P.S. I've already wrote to t::REDs, but sometimes waiting for an reply can take a long time. So I am just wondering if anyone from the wider community can help. Cheers!

Did you install the polyBridge.mel in your usrdocs/maya/x.x/scripts directory ?

Installation notes
------------------

Copy polyBridge.mll to your "maya\bin\plug-ins" folder.
Copy polyBridge.mel and installPolyBridge.mel to your scripts folder.
Copy polyBridge.xpm to your icons folder.

Show the shelf and type 'installPolyBridge' in the command Line
for installing the icon.

It is working with me.

I tried to get that file, but when i click the 6.5 button, it opens a new page then it disappears and Im stuck back at the polybridge download screen. I turn off any xp firewall settigns for the site but I can't work out how to download the stupid thing.
If its just my stupidity take pity and tell me how to downlaod it please.

For those that have got it and have it working, are you able to bridge objects with diferent poly counts? eg. A triangle to a square.
Lightwave has a cool bridge tool that does that, I was hoping this was Maya's equivalent.

Alright, I think I know what happened: the problem lies in the order the plugin and script gets loaded. This is caused by using my own custom setup for scripts and plugins. The plugin worked wonderfully after sourcing polyBridge.mel again manually.

giddyup: The download problem is probably caused by those %20 which should have be replace by spaces instead. A download manager such as GetRight will take care the hasslefor you, but in ie you will have to do it manually. (Okay, I'm so nice that I even did it for you, here (http://www.sliker.org/maya/polyBridge v1.0 for Maya 6.5.zip) it is.)

Thanks everyone!
