SubD Modeling inside Moi are the scripts of Max Smirnov https://moi3d.com/wiki/MaxScriptArchive
sSplit, sBridge, sSize + SubdD Beta 9 + ... Extrude etc
my ShortCuts are P, B, S, K, E with only these ones you can all modilized in SubD technic!

So you must have only polygons with less 6 edges
better is less 5 and solids !
sSplip is necessary else that will not work! ;)

Hi Booleano, your question was:

> but when using the "sBridge" function, I can't get these two "red lines" to join together, forming the
> object's handle. What would be the correct process to achieve this?

With your object like this:



If you want to make a result like this as you already have in the posted file:



You could get that by drawing in 2 lines in the side view like this:



Then select the object and run Boolean difference, using the lines as the cutting objects.

Delete these pieces:



Then select these for _sBridge:




Another way is you can select this face:



Run Transform > Rotate > Rotate Axis, click 2 points across the middle of the face for the rotation axis:



After you have placed the axis, type 45 and push Enter to rotate it by 45 degrees:



Repeat on the lower one but with negative 45 (-45) degrees.

Hi Pilou

Sorry, but I don't have the sSize script. Could you send it to me and explain what it does?

Thanks again.

Pretty sure its "sScale" you can find here:

http://moi3d.com/wiki/MaxScriptArchive

then how to use it:



You need to have box model which will still show points. Basically part of Max's SubDiv work back in the day....

Not really what you asked for but a fun connection!

The command is called "Wires"....

Yep I have made a mistake Burr is right!

But... sScale can resize the selected faces by their points! ;)

Hi BurrMan, could you send me that file? That way I'd understand it better. I'm Spanish. Thanks.

The original file written by max is here (Look for Wire name):

I am using a modified version by mkdm found here:

https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8301.27

The mkdm version allows to pre-select an alternate profile. If no profile selected, it just uses a circle....
