 :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
When I saw the prefix "RC_" I had to check it again....
I have to revisit all the tutorials from start to finish.
Sorry for wasting your precious time.

is there a way to "pause" global regeneration of meshes, and then re-enable it. Every time I change a param in RC Spline or Object it really slows down. It'd be nice to make 10 changes then regen with a handy pause / resume RC button.

Well, you could open the RC Lister and temporarily disable it. I don`t think there is any way to keep the geometry visible and pause regeneration.

may as well just hide the object for that case.

I figured out how to do that btw,

for each rc object in the scene obj.autoUpdate = off / on etc

It will be quite slow when re-enabling all though! I could make it more clever to only disable it on those related to the selected spline etc

I was looking for a similar script but had no luck.
I have a lot of closed Subsplines for Windows/Doors and I want to select/detach some of those within the specific range looking as RC X-->XY workflow.

I know it is an easy task just to set some Conditionals and filter them within Style Editor but usually, I`m preparing RC Presets for end-users so often time I`m requested to create a "Single-Spline Type" preset.

Hope that makes sense.
I think the script could look like img attached. Inputs for the range and small +/- Threshold to make sure to catch small deviations in size.
tnx

Hi,

Looking for a piece of code to automatically inset n-Markers evenly divided on spline

Cheers

Hello everyone, I have several questions about the RailClone script.

Firstly, I would like to know if it is possible to load a custom preset via Maxscript, without having to go through the library, just with one command.

Lastly, a question about RC Splines. I am currently working on a script that adds markers to my RC Spline. Through an interface, I have a list of all my markers. I would like that when I click on an item in my list, it automatically selects the corresponding marker (so that I can move it manually and not with "distance" or "percentage"). I have found how to access the array of the RC Spline and how to activate marker selection via the "subobjectLevel = 1" command, but once there, I do not see how to tell it to select the corresponding marker.

Many thanks!
