   http://www.neilblevins.com/soulburnscripts/soulburnscripts.htm There is a function called "modifySubdivIters" which will do just this, via NURMS in editable poly. I like the functionality of this through nurms because it lets you do multiple objects at once and also doesn't go back up the stack if you isolate selection.…

   Hi well basically what the title says, I tried looking for it in the forum without chance, so yeah I want to use + and - commands in the keyboard to go up and down iterations in turbosmooth, like you do in XSI, also toggle turbosmooth on/off if possible but mostly the first feature, so if you know of a script that does…

   Personally i prefer this. Its a little slower than turbo smooth but requires no stack. Drag and drop onto the UI and it will Toggle Smoothing on any editable polyif(classof selection[1] == editable_poly) then( selection[1].surfSubdivide = (not selection[1].surfSubdivide)) I added this to the script above. now it will work…

   Totally, its much slower. I find more convenient to work with when im modelling though. Generally i work with smoothing off and toggle it on for a preview and then disable it, I collapse the stack alot so i end up constantly having to add new modifiers which is a pain. I find Nurms is nice for a quick preview. Once im done…

   In my experience NURMS subdivision is quite slower than TurboSmooth. Anyway you don't need a custom script to toggle it. It can be found in Customize > Customize User Interface... under Category: Editable Polygon Object, Action: NURMS Toggle (Poly). It is also available in default quad menu for Editable Poly Objects,…

   Show end result' for on/off, and here's the two scripts I use for going up/down iterations: macroScript TSdivUpcategory: "GregsScripts" ( curObjs = (selection) as array count = curObjs.count for i in curObjs do ( if (ClassOf i.modifiers[1]) == turbosmooth then ( if (i.modifiers[#TurboSmooth].iterations == 2) then…

    you could just map the "Toggle end result" to the space bar and when you are editing the polygon object you can just hit space to toggle your turbosmooth that way. As for the + and - thing, who cares? just stick 2 or 3 iterations and work like that. Any iteration above 3 is going to look the same anyways, amirite? to map…
