How can I draw a poly line (Spline->Line with multiple vertexes) using MaxScript? I couldn't find it in the help file. The "gw..." functions only draw in the vieports, but I need the Line object. Later I'm going to extrude them. Thanks for any help.

You did not search hard enough :)
There is a Frequently Asked Questions entry about that in the MAXScript Reference:
"How do I create a line between two points?"

The same technique applies for any number of points...

Thank You very much, I missed the FAQ section and searched only through the index.

woe betide they who ask questions covered by Bobo's fantastic 'frequently asked' in the help!

LOL
