Hello,

Was wondering if there was a quick (or long) way to set up a kind of utility button to create a shape.

The line shape would be a stright spline with 4 mods in the stack.
I have to duplicate this shape many times, so I was wondering if I could make this one shape and program in 3ds max so that I can press or lauch something and automatically create this spline containing the 4 mods??

any ideas, thanks.

This is pretty easy with Maxscript.
Turn the Macro Recorder on, create your object and add the modifiers, and save the script as a .mcr file.
If you do not have maxscript experience, you can post the results in the Maxscript forum and I’m sure someone can help you modify it to suit.
