  I just created all my own primitives (even a quad only cylinder) and load those whenever I need them. I use them in other apps as well making it well worth the time I spent creating them.

  mhhh... don't we have a spherify modifier for that?
  1. create a box with same segments on all sides...
  2. (add smooth modifier and put all in group 1 for smooth results)
  3. add spherify modifier on top
  results in a sphere only of quads

  but I agree why 3 steps if we could have it with one click and maybe with better topology...

  @heysus make sure to enter this as separate suggestion if you want this to be in the database. Comments are good but don't rely on them being read.

  Also, a chamfering tool that does quad only chamfers would rock! Like this little plugin:

  Good one, thanks! I hope this will make it easy for the developers, should they consider adding it!

  I'll do you one better: http://area.autodesk.com/userdata/forum/1/1527_opGC312KbbD0H73mRz9o.zip

  It's a scripted plugin I wrote for a quad sphere, ellipsoid and pyramid. But it would still be better if max had one built in.

  It's basically a box shrunk down to a sphere. I use it all the time as a starting point for organic modeling.

  So what would be the best topology for a quad-only sphere? Got any images, or even a mesh?
