Script for changing grid size in Maya?

jordank95

Looking for a MEL script to change grid size in Maya by powers of 2. Its annoying to go through this manually every time I want to change the grid size when working on modular sets. Anyone know of one? Im pretty useless when it comes to programming it myself.

Here you go. -- Make two MEL shelf buttons.
Then, here's the MEL code for shelf button 1:

//turn off undo

undoInfo -stateWithoutFlush false;

//query current grid divisions

int $gridDivs = `grid -q -divisions`;

//calculate new divisions

$gridDivs = $gridDivs * 2;

//query current grid spacing

int $gridSpacing = `grid -q -spacing`;

//set new divisions

grid -spacing $gridSpacing -divisions $gridDivs;

//turn undo back on

undoInfo -stateWithoutFlush true;

Here's the MEL code for shelf button 2:

//turn off undo

undoInfo -stateWithoutFlush false;

//query current grid divisions

int $gridDivs = `grid -q -divisions`;

//calculate new divisions

$gridDivs = $gridDivs / 2;

//query current grid spacing

int $gridSpacing = `grid -q -spacing`;

//set new divisions

grid -spacing $gridSpacing -divisions $gridDivs;

//turn undo back on

undoInfo -stateWithoutFlush true;
