maxscript snap

dejawolf

hi, i wanted to make a small tool where i could define the snap angle as 1 5 and 90 degrees, but i can't find the snap angle value in the maxscript documentation...

renderhjs

here perhaps:
http://www.kxcad.net/autodesk/Autodesk_MAXScript_Reference_9/snapmode_const_structdef.htm

e.g
[php]snapMode.snapRadius = 7;[/php]
sets it to 7°

hmm, very good question... i can't find it anywhere either!
it doesn't show up in the listener, and it's not available anywhere in the docs... it is a mystery

renderhjs: snap radius is not the same as angle snap - snap radius is the size in pixels of how near you have to be to a snappable object or point before it will snap.

It doesn't appear exposed. I am not surprised.

Snaps I don't think have been modified since R1 or R2, before MAXScript or very early in its life. These 'black boxes' of code will probably never be exposed, but you can access them with UIAccessor... I am not an expert on that and you should probably head to CGTalk for that, Zeboxx will have an answer for you (if someone hasn't already had the same question already).
