It's only my second script, not sure if it works in all cases, or is completely "safe". But it works. Use at own risk.

Nice to hear from you! I'm good, working freelance now.
I made this for 2 reasons:
1. I suck at scripting and need practice
2. Fix symmetry dosent work if there is geometry changes more than point movements. If you accidentally made a bevel on one side or whatever... The edgeloop cut tool screws up symmetry quite often.

I see what you mean...cool

I hear people saying that loop slice screws up symmetry...never happened to me,must've been lucky

I'm surprised you havent gone back to xsi,after all the improvements and the price drop....modo more appealing? it sure is to me

and it isnt only the visual appeal thing but also the general precision/control thing that modo has ported from lightwave...I guess

I only ever used XSI on one gig. I've been in LW land in the past few years working on Andromeda. I really like how the've cleaned up and repackaged thier ideas from LW into modo, I'm eager to see how the rest of the package is going to turn out.

oh btw,a friend of mine wrote this script that completely matches the functionality od LW's VertiBevel plugin,and quite frankly it exceeds it in some of its features... like numeric scaling of beveling profiles,inverting etc

I thought I should bring it up so it doesnt get overlooked because of its rather unexciting name:

Poly Bevel Grabber v1.0 (http://www.julianjohnson.co.uk/pb/polybevel_grabber_v1.zip) (!?!?! http://www.aoikenso.net/ap/cg/biggrin.gif ) http://www.exch.demon.co.uk/pb_grabber.htm

which in fact works together with another one of his scripts:

Poly Bevel Presets v1.5 (http://www.julianjohnson.co.uk/pb/polybevel_presets_v15.zip) http://www.exch.demon.co.uk/pb_presets.htm

cool stuff

Wow cool. It's great to see what people are doing with scripts with modo already. It's gonna be crazy when they release the SDK and people can make new tools, centers, and falloffs that all play nice with the toolpipe. Crazyness.
