// maya1.cmd - first crude version, using separate mesh for each facet.
/* Surface Evolver script to write Maya ASCII file.
Reference: http://caad.arch.ethz.ch/info/maya/manual/FileFormats/index.html
Also in Maya documentation:
Developer Resources > File Formats > Maya ASCII file format > Maya ASCII file format >
Organizationof Maya Ascii files
Usage:
Enter command: read "maya1.cmd"
Enter command: maya1 >>> "filename.ma"
Note: The default length unit is cm, but if you want to use something
different, then set the maya_length_unit variable to the appropriate string
after loading maya.cmd and before running the maya command,
e.g.
Enter command: maya_length_unit := "in"
Enter command: maya >>> "filename.ma"
Valid length unit strings are:
"mm", "millimeter", "cm", "centimeter", "m", "meter", "km", "kilometer",
"in", "inch", "ft", "foot", "yd", "yard", "mi", "mile".
Note: To prevent names generated by this script from conflicting with existing
maya names or names from another datafile, there is a string variable
maya_name that is prepended to all names generated by this script.
There is a maya namespace feature that probably could be used in place
of this, but I do not understand it yet. The maya_name default is "AAA";
I didn't use the datafilename since this may contain illegal characters
and would prevent generating multiple maya objects from the same datafile.
So if you are going to use multiple surfaces simultaneously, change
maya_name before executing the maya command.
