Hello!

I was using this command on Maya 2008 : polyConvertToRingAndSplitAround

It was very usefull when selecting an edge loop with the SelectEdgeLoopTool with an hotkey and with another hotkey with the polyConvertToRingAndSplitAround command creating another edge looping at equal distance from the next edge loop…

(I hope you will understand this explanation with my poor english...)

Anyway, on Maya 2009 the polyConvertToRingAndSplitAround command will give :

// Error: line 1: Cannot find procedure "polyConvertToRingAndSplitAround". //

Then I did some research and I found the polySplitRing function.

But a line look like that :

polySplitRing -ch on -splitType 0 -weight 0.00299317 -smoothingAngle 0 -fixQuads 1 -direction 1 -rootEdge 12 ;

... and when I stick the Equal distance from edge in the Insert Loop Edge Tool option box, it doesn’t do anything....

To tell the truth, after editing this command line I don’t success to create an new edge loop automaticaly....

At the end I would like to know if in Maya 2009 there is a function like the polyConvertToRingAndSplitAround, very easy for use?

Thank you!!
