Offset Edge Loop Tool equivalent in 3DS Max

mister_s

Hey all,

When I first learned modeling I was taught on Maya. I ended up hovering over to 3DS on my own because it just felt more natural the second I used it. I ran across a situation where there is a certain tool I would find useful that I could not find an equivalent for in 3DS.

The tool is 'Offset Edge Loop' and it basically adds two edge loops on either side of the selected edge loop spaced equally apart.

Is there a way to do that in 3DS or does anyone have a script for it? I did a quick search but didn't turn anything up.

In editable poly, edge mode, its called extrude. Use 0 for the first parameter and the second says the "offset" that you want.

if I understand it correctly:

Select the edge loop, use "extrude", and just set the height to 0 and just use the width slider.

Well I feel like an idiot. I won't admit how long I've been using 3DS now without ever thinking about doing it like that.

Thanks guys.
