(Maya) Smart Curve Extrude

Inspired by Blenders vertex extrude. I have hack together a way to replicate a similar functionality in Maya. 

This script is a heavily modified version of ShiftClickSmartDupe.mel script originally from Autodesk, to include the functionality for extrude Curve cvs.

Usage

Single CV (Start cv or End cv)

Shift + LeftClick Drag will extrude a new segment from selected cv.

Single CV (any cv between start and end)

Shift + LeftClick Drag will Create a new Curve starting from the original selection position.

Multiple CVs - End or Start of Curve

Shift + LeftClick Drag will extrude a new segment from the start for the Cv selection. 

Multiple CVs - Middle of Curve

Shift + LeftClick Drag will extrude 2 new segment from the start and end of Cv selection. 

All CVs

With all the cvs selected> Shift + LeftClick Drag will extrude a single side mesh.

CAVEAT: Current version doesn't support Bezier Curves.
