Hey Patrick, just tried to run the script in max 8 and it doesnt seem to work. Should a dialog box appear after the script is run?

Sorry if I've not mentioned this before,
You need to customise your toolbar. Find "reForm Utilities" then drag the script onto a toolbar. (add an icon if you wish)Patrick Macdonald

Interesting thing happened when i turned edges of triangle before running the script...
The foreground set of Tori wer converted to EMesh, made all edges visible, then converted to EPoly.
The background set has every other row of Edges turned...

I'm reluctant to call it a bug because I love the tool too much! Again, let me know where I can donate if you'll take PayPal or something.
It would be a problem if i wanted the edges to show up as mullions and glass. I'll do some more experiments. It would be ideal to be able to cut/create/turn edges any way desired before applying the tool.
I have been able to add cuts and slices and it worked great. in the example above, I converted the torus to an EMesh and Turned the invisible edges in every other row to get an alternating pattern in the glazing. Then converted it to EPoly. Those rows didn't show up as you can see.
Also, (I'm sure you've thought of this) it would be great for it to work on any object that has EPoly on top of the stack. This way we could add/subtract edges at will or add mods below the EPoly etc.
Thanks for sharing your great work!

Bringing this thread back to life again!
Trying to put this script to use on a project where we have a grid roof that dips in the middle. Works quite nicely. I wondered if there had been any further developments on it? It would be nice to have all the glass/silicone float off the mullions by a variable amount, and have the little 'spider' supports connecting it back to the structure.Kind Regards,
Richard Birket
