Setting hotkeys for Ring, loop and Show end result

[Dave Black]

To be honest, I've just linked the meshtools command to a hotkey.

Show end result, select ring, and select loop are all function that meshtools has available, and they can be bound to a key.

Perhaps you are using R5, but Meshtools will still work.

Have a try that way, and see if it's what you want.

hmmm actually I was using Max's default poly editing tools but I will give that a shot.
unless anyone here has a way to do this with the defualt poly editing tools?

Well, then, go to "Customize User Interface", select the "keyboard " tab, and then set the catagory to "Editable Poly Object", and the commands are available there.

Perhaps I've misunderstood your problem, but then, I'm known to do so.

Damnit! You edited faster than I could respond!!!

Well, sadly, I'm very poor with maxscript...Wish I could help...Sniff...sniff..Sorry, man, I've failed you...BWAAAAA :cry:

Grrr uhm never mind I didnt realize that Ring and loop already had hotkeys assigned to them I was looking for "Ring select" vs select Ring from the list. Show end result doesn't seem to show up in that list though. Sorry about the confusion.

Here's a quickie macroscript I hobbled together from the Listener.


macroscript ShowEndResult_toogle
category:"Modifier Panel Tools"
tooltip:"End Result + Shaded"
(
showEndresult = not ShowEndResult
actionMan.executeAction 0 "272"
)


It toggles whatever state the ShowEndResult button is in, and also toggles between shaded and wireframe at the same time.

I'm no script junkie, just a quickie that happened to actually work.
