Duncan Hi:

Here is a quick list I made:

(Some of these come in MEL but I want them built in !)

0. One of the most important features: Object snaps (Curve/Arc/Circle Center, Midpoint, and more)
1. noise deformer as in 3DMAX (to create non smooth surfaces and bevels)
2. More Basic Building blocks ( frames etc.,)
3. Array - distribute an object along a curve by number or by distance
4. Bridge tool
5. A complete set of layer managment:
- Hide all layers but current
- Lock all layers but current
- Turn all layers on
- Set a layer to current by selecting an object from the layer
- Kill a lyer by picking an object from the layer
6. Blocks like in AutoCAD and not like instances
7. IES Format support for lights.
8. Tubellar Light
9. Polygons Booleans are inconsistent for morphing out openings.
10. Metric units in Maya do not match AutoCAD DWG

Many of these are in the wishlist website for maya but are ignored and many of them seem very easy to program.

I really hope that some willl find their way into Maya 7

Have a nice weekend
