What version of 3ds Max are you using?

You don't need a script. There's a Hard/Soft button in the Edit Edges rollout of Editable Poly. And they are in the PolyTools category in the Customize menu.

Also, i don't recommend setting a hotkey to CTRL + S. That's the default save hotkey for nearly every app ever made.

Look harder. Command panel. Edge sub-object mode. Hard/Smooth buttons, and a 'display hard edges' checkbox.

First, stop with the exclamation points, it makes you sound like you're freaking out or throwing a tantrum.

Next, please show an example of exactly what you are trying to achieve. I assumed you were looking for ways to make maxs smoothing groups work like Mayas "hard/soft edges", while Monster directed you towards the edge crease feature, but perhaps you're looking for something entirely different.

monster

That is what he is looking for. I'm sorry, the Hard/Smooth tools in PolyTools are not the same tools as the Hard/Smooth in the command panel. PolyTools works on Polygon selection.

I can't find a hotkey for the Hard/Smooth buttons in edge mode.

You can use these scripts. I used the macro recorder to start the creation, then added logic for EditPoly Mod vs EditablePoly.

(
	obj = modPanel.getCurrentObject()	

	if classof obj == Editable_Poly do
	(
		obj.makeHardEdges 1
	)

	if classof obj ==  Edit_Poly do
	(
		obj.ButtonOp #MakeHardEdges
	)
)

(
	obj = modPanel.getCurrentObject()	

	if classof obj == Editable_Poly do
	(
		obj.makeSmoothEdges 1
	)

	if classof obj ==  Edit_Poly do
	(
 		obj.ButtonOp #MakeSmoothEdges
	)
)

Alright!!!!!!!!! Take it easy!!!!!!!

Customise>customise UI>Category:Polytools. Now there are 2 words in the list. Hard and Smooth. Assign your hotkeys to each of these.

musashidan , the script from monster works. The buttons you point will ignore edge selections.

Strange? I assumed they would. Must be broken. Shows up in the listener. I use the Polysmoother plugin so I never tried to assign those hotkeys before.

It works with faces as it makes reference to the existing face smooth options that already exist in the ribbon. But there are not options for edges in the ribbon , only in the command panel. And also doesn't appear in the shortcut list.

hi, tnx for your help guys, i find it from disscord guys .

macroScript EdgeHard category:"My Scripts" tooltip:"Form Hard Edge"
(
$.EditablePoly.makeHardEdges 1
)

macroScript EdgeSoft category:"My Scripts" tooltip:"Form Soft Edge"
(
$.EditablePoly.makeSmoothEdges 1
)

these are works in 3dsmax 2017 and i drag them in my personal toolbar and then in customize user interface i put hotkeys for them.

The script I posted will work with Edit Poly modifier in addition to Editable Poly baseobject.

Altea

Thanks, that is a lot better than only editable poly
