cause there is no internal support forum, i would like to open a poly boost support thread.
maybe the thread could be sticked?
i got a retopo problem with max 9. the new created polys snap beneath the target mesh, so i can’t hardly see my retopo mesh.
any advice?
thx
Hey IGhosTDoGI, it could be a good idea to have a thread where PolyBoost users can exchange ideas. Support is also always available at admin@polyboost.com
In your situation it is a good idea to make the mesh used to draw on see-through (Alt-x). It can also be good to have edged faces turned on on the selection only.

Hi
I noticed a strange issue with PolyBoost v2.5 (demo mode) on both Max8 and Max 9 (XP32).
once installed, the .DDS file Format is broken !
-> no .DDS file type in open bitmap dialog
-> choosing . gives an error upon choosing a DDS file (unknown format).
Hi Zbuffer, I am aware of that issue. PolyBoost will soon be updated with a fix for that but in the meantime you can download a fix here:

I’ll throw in two questions concerning PolyBoost here …
*) Why isn’t PolyDraw working correctly when you have a “TurboSmooth” or “Symmetry” modifier in the stack?
*) Will there be a support for the undo keyboard shortcut?
Greetings … Andreas.
thx for your reply. it works now. 
*) Why isn’t PolyDraw working correctly when you have a “TurboSmooth” or “Symmetry” modifier in the stack?
got the same problem with turbo smooth. especially with move mode. the vertices don’t snap correctly on the surface or sometimes they snap beneath the surface or snap somewhere outta space.
another question: how is the license locked? can i reinstall my os or can i transfer/switch my license to complete new system, if i want to buy a new pc?

Hi Rivendale,
The DDS fix indeed fixes the DDS isue, but now polydraw does not work:
– "Unknow property: “Polydrawfunc” in undefined
Manually running the PB_PolyDraw.mse script fixes the issue.
Hey,
TheGonzaga/IGhosTDoGI - PolyDraw always works on the baseobject of the model so any modifiers added above that is added on top of the changes you make in PolyDraw. The tools can only snap to the geometry in the base so if you have turbosmooth visible on top you have to take that into account.
TheGonzaga - In PolyDraw undo is only available from the main toolbar of 3ds max. Autodesk would need to change the way certain functions behave for that to be possible.
For the license you can use the “Portable license utility” to transfer the license of 3ds max. The same serialnumber will then work for PolyBoost. Contact support if you have any license issues.
Zbuffer - I have updated the zipfile now, it should work properly now.
cheers,

There seems to be some issues about this that need sorting out. I will fix it for the next update.

Hi,
is it possible to make a ring selection from edge-to edge? I can do it with stepmode only in loop, but ring? Maybe even mixed? like if you select two distant edges in “ring a” and other two in “ring b”, then press “ring” and it selects the partial edgerings?
Seems that paintconnect won’t work like “paint” (max9sp1, extension pack installed). It works clicking every single edge.
hi,
i have just installed max 9 extension 1 and now polyboost 3 doesn’t work/load anymore. i get tons of script errors. hope there will be a fix soon, cause afaik you can’t deinstall the extension anymore.
thx
that’s been taken care of now. i had to reinstall polyboost after the extensions again. thx. 
I’m not having much luck with the PolyBoost 3.0 Loop Tools -> Curve Tool using Max 9 SP2. Anyone else having trouble? I created a cylinder and picked a vertex, pulled it out a ways like in the demo movie and hit curve and nothing happens. I tried some of the other tricks in the video. I can’t get curve to work no matter what, which has got me bummed. It’s one of the coolest features.
Thanks!
Yup Gantra, I second that. Probably this is caused by some updates (sp1, prod.boosterpack rev3) ? Thought I’ve tested this function succesfully when pb3 came out, but now it’s not working anymore. (with this exception pb works very well)
I’ve sent an email to Carl-Mikael-Lagnecrantz, hope he can figure out what’s happening here.

Hey people, if a similar issue to what you are describing occurs then you should reinstall PolyBoost. That seems to have fixed the issue in other cases. I believe the issue could be with installing the productivity booster but I will look into it.
cheers,
CML
Also Gantra, you should make sure that you have an edgeloop selected, just pulling out a vertex will not do anything unless the vertex is on a set of selected edges.

Carl-Mikael helped me resolve my issues after looking at my max file.
I failed to collapse the mesh into an editable poly. Instead, i was using the Edit Poly modifier on top of a primitive, which doesn’t work with Loop tools.
Curve, flowconnect, all of the Loop controls appear to work great for me now.
Thanks to everyone for the assistance.
We’ve had that problem at work too, using max 9 32-bit with SP2 installed.
will definitely give that a try. Thanks.
