Rhino 'contour' feature in MAX?

[Aaron2004]

Hey all,

 

There is a specific feature I will need that I KNOW Rhino has, but MAX might be missing....and I'd like to keep the whole project in Max. While modeling with MAX nurbs, or even poly or patch, is it possible to do something similar to this Rhino 'Contour' command?

I'd like to be able to make a model, then pull evenly spaced spline contours away from it for use in laser cutting. The model won't be perfect enough to pull out edge rings or loops in polygon modeling mode. I need something more exact.

 

I wish MAX had a more robust menu of CNC or fabrication. I hate moving between programs. It makes my meshes look like spiderwebs.

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron
