Re: Maya 2009: Split Edge
@Froyok: Place script in scripts directory which is located in your my documents folder. So go My Documents -> 2011 -> scripts and put that in there. Same for icons.

Re: Maya 2009: Split Edge

Re: Maya 2009: Split Edge

( Bevel ) cly_edgeSplitBevel.mel splits geometry on edge selections ( a single edge requires at least one hole neighbor ) edit the resulting tear with the bevel's offset attribute: mmb -ctrl drag -> ( cly_splitBevel.offset ) tried lots of crazy self intersecting loops to try… -
Re: Maya 2009: Split Edge
crazymatt, that sounds bananas, or rather, driving the car to get across the street.... no offense of course... unless i too have just totally misunderstood what KP is trying to do here. chronic's method is how i do it, it is just a difference between selection methods. separate works on objects that have been combined…
