Hi,

Can anyone help me how to load this spinFaces.mel into Maya 8.5 properly?

Because I get the following error message:

//Error: Cannot find procedure "SpinFaces"

Thanks in advance

you need to source the script - maya automatically sources scripts from the user/my documents/maya/[version]/scripts folder. Otherwise when you open the maya just open the script editor and choose source script from the file menu.

for the command someCommand I beleive the script it is called from needs to be in the form:
global proc someCommand() {
//commands
}

the script must not be sourced if it's not working for you. I just downloaded it and stuck it in my user/my documents/maya/2008/scripts and loaded maya and ran the script by typeing spinFaces into the command line.

Have manually sourced the script? Open the script editor -> file -> source script
