hi everyone. (first apologise for my poor english)

this is the one of my early scripts that i decide to upload on highend.
I wrote this script for the classic building brick folding effect.
hope you'll find it useful.

usage instructions :

1. first ,you must have the building model has seperated brick parts.
2. select a row or column (not random or whole model) in random or sorted.
3. type morrisFold; in command line
4. if you have row or column selected press the "create folding group" button
5. you'll asked for the name of the new folding group
6. then, you'll asked for the folding direction (not closing but opening)
7. voila !! if you did the steps right , you will have a locator on the base of your selected objects
    and if you check the outliner you'll see two groups and a locator has the same prefix      
    (mFoldGroup_name_*)
    mFoldGroup_name_originals has the object that you selected. Original objects remain untouched.
    mFoldGroup_name_fObjGroup has the actual fold objects that copied directly from your selection
    mFoldGroup_name_control is a locator that has the controls for the current folding group.

deleting a folding group :
just select one object in the folding group and hit the delete folding group button.

notes:

you dont need to align pivot's or translation, rotation values of objects.
script does that for you. just select, name it, and decide the direction of folding.
