First of all thanks for taking a look and / or using it. If you enjoy using the scripts feel free to share as long as I am credited for the script. If you have any ideas for scripts or tool feel free to contact me. Thanks again.

How to install:


1. Copy / move the OctagoneHole.py in your Documents\maya\version\scripts
2. In Maya, open the script editor
3. Make a new python tab or empty an existing python tab

    Command menu > New Tab > Click Python from the pop up.

4. Paste the code below into the script editor!

import OctagonHole
OctagonHole.octagonal_hole()

4.1 The best value is 0.5, you can make different hole size by giving it a custom value. This is as followed:

import OctagonHole
OctagonHole.octagonal_hole(value=CUSTOMVALUE)

By doing this you can make multiple buttons, each with a different value

5. Select the code and click + drag it to the desired shelf. Click Python again in the pop up window.

6. For editing the label and icon: right click the new icon and choose Edit and go to the Shelves tab of the window

I will try to expand and improve the script to be more user friendly for scaling (read value)
Hope you enjoy using it. 


How to use:

1. Select a vertext which has 4 adjecent egdes (center of a cross)
2. Run the script
3. Repeat

Please keep in mind that selecting multiple vertices won't work.
You can use the "G" key to repeat the action after selecting a new vertex.
