   In a twist of fate.... I ran it 4 times with the script editor opened, and it showed "bnormal;" and didn't crash once. Then I closed the script editor, and ran it once, and it crashed immediately. Although after reopening Maya, it's crashing whether or not the script editor is open. Here's a shot of those directories after…

   Yay! Managed to get it working at home. It doesn't crash. Script is working as it should be and the results are good. But, here's the thing.... It has the same issues as all other scripts that automate this process. I made some tests with manual script and bnormal. On the left it's manual, on the right is bnormal: (forgot…

   Unfortunately, crashes every time I use it :/ Tried on different project files (and meshes), always the same, sqaboosh. I'm using Maya Ext2, SP1 It worked for about 5 seconds on the third try with a simple cube. But chrashed after that. That was the only time it computed actually. I'm no expert with scripts, but should't…

   Can we run the script on face polygon selection instead of the whole object ?

   @WaYWO Baahhh, yeah, smoothing the edges fixed it! Maybe let the script smooth the edges beforehand? As an idiot-proof backup :smiley:

   Some weird behaviour on a cylinder: As you can see, first application isn't quite right, second seems to be perfect, and third breaks it again. After that nothing changes. Brilliant script btw, might be a huge help if it's consistent!

   @WaYWO 2017 as well! Tried it on a couple slightly different cylinders, pretty much the same deal, though the 14-sided one doesn't break after the third iteration. Will try on a fresh maya profile though, might be some scripts/settings interfering with it.
