Installing Quick Sweep Mesh

Mirror Tool 1

Step 1 - Setting up

  • Setting up

    1.Unzip the Quick_Sweep_Mesh.zip file.

    2.Copy-paste the quick_sweep.py file in your \Documents\Maya\Scripts folder.

    Info - quick_sweep folder

    When unziping the zip file there's a quick_sweep folder containing the documentation as a pdf and an icon to use on your shelf.

    You could copy paste the folder in your \Documents\Maya\XXXX\Prefs\Icons folder but its not necessary as the tool will now point towards the online documentation.

    It would only be necessary as a backup if your internet was down or if you wanted to use the icon.

    3.Open Maya.
