View Full Version : Spline Attaching

I need to attach one spline to another, but, the way I've been trying, I have to convert one of the objects into an Editable Poly or Mesh, but if I do that with a spline, it disappears (the idea is to not enable in viewport).

I've tried several approaches, but still haven't been able to do this.

All I want is to re-create the action of opening the modifier panel, clicking on the "Attach" button and clicking on another spline to attach them. But I do not want any user interaction.

Is this possible to be done via script? If so, how? I have tried various ways, but all failed...

These should allow you to attach editable spline(s) objects.
splineOps.attachMultiple <editable_spline_or_line_node_or_modifier>Displays Attach Multiple dialog allowing the user to select multiple shapes to attach. Valid in all Sub-Object levels, and when not in Sub-Object mode.

OR
splineOps.startAttach <editable_spline_or_line_node_or_modifier>Enters "Attach" command mode - valid in all Sub-Object levels, and when not in Sub-Object mode.

Pixel_Monkey, those methods I know about, but they need user interaction, no use for me... Thanks though...


soulburn, I'll look at your script... thanks!

Well a little searching here on the forums revealed that if you use:
addAndWeld <to_shape> <from_shape> <weldthreshold_float> Example:
addAndWeld $line01 $line02 0.0 Will add $line02 to $line01, however undoing it in Max 9 does some wierd offset.

Hmmm... Yeah, I saw that in soulburn's scripts...
I searched the forum, but couldn't find this

Thanks both of you for your help :)
