Hi,

I'm just starting to do some Maxscripting but can't get much help from
the help-files. I want a simple script to measure the angle between two
selected edges of a face and have the script create a text-element wich
displays the angle so I can export it to a .dwg.

My problem starts with the first step, how do I measure the angle
between two edges of a face?

grtz

Have a look at scriptspot, for example Swami's script Camera-based face
selection http://www.scriptspot.com/download.asp?ID=391

Best way to learn is to study other scripters code ...

Yeah, I allready found some scripts but the old max 4 scripts don't work
in max 6. (I tried the AngleExtractor 0.1)

I don't have access to max6 so can't help much here. Go to Discreet forum
and ask there if someone could help, or contact directly the guy who wrote
that script

Hope this helps:

Otherwise, just look up Dihedral Angle in Google or whatever, and you
should get some more info on the subject.
