Hey guys!

I've been having to manually uncheck isoline display on my  highpoly before export and that can get super annoying when you have a ton of little parts. 

I found something that appears to be the hotkey for it in the customize user interface panel but it doesn't seem to be working as intended (It doesn't seem to be doing anything actually)



Does anybody know how to map that toggle? Its part of the turbosmooth modifier.

Cheers

    Just wrote this maxscript, should work
    Just add this to your scripts then run the script on a hotkey, it should toggle isoline on/off all objects. 
    for selObj in selection do (
    	if selObj.modifiers[#TurboSmooth].isolineDisplay == true then
    	(
    		selObj.modifiers[#TurboSmooth].isolineDisplay = false
    	)
    	else 
    	(
    		selObj.modifiers[#TurboSmooth].isolineDisplay = true
    	)
    )

    I wasn't exactly sure how to run the script on a hotkey, but I referenced another .mcr file so that I could get it to show up in the customize menu under a special category! Works like a charm!

    macroScript ToggleIsoline category:"File"
    category: "JordanMoss"
    internalCategory: "JordanMoss"
    ToolTip:"Toggle Isoline"
    buttontext: "Toggle Isoline"
    (
    for selObj in selection do (
    if selObj.modifiers[#TurboSmooth].isolineDisplay == true then
    (
    selObj.modifiers[#TurboSmooth].isolineDisplay = false
    )
    else 
    (
    selObj.modifiers[#TurboSmooth].isolineDisplay = true
    )
    )
    )
