Hi all,

I would like to set a keyboard shortcut for the "show end\result toggle" button under the modifier stack.

I can't seem to find it in the customize UI interface...

I looked under "S" for show
and under "E" for end.

It would be a great help not to have to push the button everyone time I wanted to view my meshsmooth after changes.

Has anyone done this? Where can I find this parameter in the custimization ui interface. I'm sure it's because I might be using the wrong syntax to look for it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, you could install meshtools. It even comes with an icon for that. I'll have to look around for it in Max's default...Not 100% sure it's an option with the default toolset.

Thanks 3DZealot and megaflaizer..

I'm using meshtools and that works great!

I guess it must sound like a stupid question or maybe my perspective is wrong but a customizable user interface means I should be able to hotkey any button. (without scripting)
Especially a main UI button...!

I would think "show \ end result" was a part of any modeler's workflow and would be a big "must have" on the developer's list. Guess not...

Forgive me... just bitching about max (and the fact that I must look stupid since I got the "look it up in the help file response").

Thanks again for your help. Happy Holidays

No, no, max bitching is good...we all need to do it.

Go into your customize UI.

keyboard shortcuts, and select the showendresult on/off toggle from the meshtools set of commands.

:D

:D

heres another handy one i use for subd modeling. cuz sometimes, you just wanna switch between subd 0 and 1 levels...

save as a .mcr file and you'll se eit in customize UI under dougtools. of coure, simply replacing the string "dougtools" in the script and you can name it whatever you want.

i usually map it to alt +1 or something... whatever
