[MAYA][Question] Quick Primitive in Maya??
polycounter lvl 11
Hey folks, I former user in XSI and working in Maya past 2 years and Maya is a severe shortage of Quick Primitive Creation from poly, edge and vertex normal. I know few ways how I can do it inside Maya, but it needs a lot of click-clack and I hope Maya have an easy way to do it.

Maybe you guys know any similar script or plugins for Maya?
Thanks.
