Max, I repeated Frenchy's little model above; and it worked as shown. But extruding other faces does not work, and results in an error [2] or error [4].
Can you explain a little about these errors, and what things to avoid before invoking sub-D command? I have seen some very complex models work fine in other demos.
Thanks for your fantastic tools!!
Ron
Thank you Max. Great work.
OT: We need a dedicated page where users can upload the latest version of their scripts. Asap. We can't follow the threads everytime to be sure of getting the newest version.
subdSplit 0.9
now it uses pointpicker instead of slider
I'm very satisfied with the results
This version is close to 1.0.. Need to fix a couple of rare bugs :)

I made a site several months ago, but I haven't free time to fill it with information. Maybe someone help me?
Anyway, you can download all latest versions of my scripts here: http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files

>>but you don't answer me about an automatic selection
Forgot about this. Sorry :)
When you asked me I tried to do this, but I couldn't done it successfully :(
When MoI joins separated parts it changes ID's of the faces. So I can't find which faces are new created.
At the moment I know only way to do it: create a new style. assign it to a new faces. join surfaces. restore selection. revert styles.
It will work, but I don't like this method.
I think we should ask Michael about this :)
>>Can you explain usage of the Repeat check box on the latest Split tool?
I can't explain because my script doesn't use it :)
added "norepeat noautolaunch" key to disable it.
script reuploaded.

Yeah that's just basically how ID values work - they are basically tied to a specific version of an object. When an object is edited in any way, the new objects generated from that then have their own new ID values as well.
Maybe instead of setting up a style to track it you could assign object names to the faces you want to track, I think they should persist across the separate as well.

as we can't select them! ?"""""""""
You can preview the point structure you are making. One of the unique things about max's script is it will generate "solids" that will show their points, like a revolve object does....
How in the heck did I miss this! This is an awesome set of tools Max!
I can't wait to see you future progress with the sub-d tool in Moi.
Two things I'd be interested in:
1) A way to sub-D with an open face. The perimeter around the open face staying pretty much static except for it's own division.
For an example, if you divided a cube with a missing face, you would end up with sort of a cup shape.
2) If only there was a way to take existing Moi multi-surface solids and convert them into polygonal structures much like the .obj export works, except in a live manner that allows for sub-D to work on it.
In effect a melty tool for an existing Moi object.
But what do I know? My head is spinning of the possibilities of incorporating some pseudo organic character into any Moi model. ...it's like a teaser T-spline.
Mike - I was wondering when you were going to join the party :)
I'd like to see a way to delete a section that resulted from a split. For example, after making a box and Spliting it into sections, I'd like to be able to remove some sections.
Right now I can delete faces, but that leaves a hole. I'd like to go from the top object to the bottom object (without the missing faces). I know I can make the solid object using Splits and extrusions, but the ability to remove a section becomes important when you're well into a project and realize you need to remove a section.
