Hey Jonas, Got a wish for MAX. Can you include some kind of identifier flag within a primitive's appdata chunk? (Or whatever the equivalent to the appdata chunk is in MAX.) I'd like to know what the user created. You know, sphere, cone, box, torus, etc. I realize that this info may become invalid or inappropriate really quickly if the user starts deforming the primitive, but it would give the Plug-In developer a place to start if he/she wants to base portions of their functionality on what the user originally defined as an object. I probably won't get your response for a while. I'm on a plane to the carribean tonight. Time for a little R&R. Can't wait to strap the tanks on and hit the reefs! Thanks, Danny…
