Were can i find the draw split tool?

[dzogchen]

If you download the bonus tools from the A/W website, it's included inside.

im on maya 5. i have the tools, i dont see a draw split anything though. is it the face path split tool? other than that i dont see any more poly tools.

Be sure to check if it`s loaded in plug-in manager.

It is not by default.

i can't seem to get it to work. I have all the plugins on auto load, when i load up Maya the only thing i have access to is the skin shader in the hypershade window. Which menu are the other tools under. Where do i find the draw split tool. Cheers.

[Levitateme]

did you load the draw split tool? for me its under

face path split toool

are you in the modeling UI when you try to find it?

hmm...this is strange.
i got an extra menu called Bonus Tools where its located...

anyway, its not working for me. it loaded alright, i can also draw the selection over my mesh..but its not splitting anything.
script editor gives me: Result: Performed a "multiSliceSplit" ??

edit: maya 5.0 here.

mcdonut, i think everyone i have ever known who has used that tool gets that error. its like always the first time it seems also. i only got it once, the first time i used it. its not really a error, it just dont work. for me to get it to work . i had to go to its settings click reset , i then tried drawing and it worked fine. so i guess you just might try reseting your settings, thenit should work. then if it does, put your settings to whateveryou like.

K figured it out, if nothing shows up after u've done everything right, just run Bonustoolsmenu.mel, its like the MJpoly tools, it gives u an extra menu for the bonus tools. Under that is the Draw split. Nad yes, it does not work the first time for some wiered reason. Go to the tool options tweak some stuff, hit reset and voila.

haha...this is too funny. well, thanks a lot, it did the trick! :beer:
this is a kickass tool, i'll use that all the time!

[Levitateme]

i would get claydoughs script for draw split tool. i use that quite a bit as well.

[modi]

where can we find the claydough draw split?

[Levitateme]

on highend, i belive its under modeling/polygon for mel. i would post a link, but everytime i post a link from hignend nothing happens.

[crgowo]

i still cant seem to find it. i have the plugin loaded. i uziped the downloaded file to c:\documents and settings\cesar\my documents\maya 5\
the other bonus tools seem to load fine.
like calc.
tri count hud. im unsure as to wat 90% of the bonus tools do :D

THanks
