Update to Quad primitives script - polyGable and polyOblong

 polyGable(roof/wedge) is available now in the latest beta (free)

For those of you who are not familar. this is tool that allows user to create Quad based Primitives( such as quad cylinders and quad spheres..) interactively that does not exist in base Maya. The nice thing about these primitives is that they are tweakable after creation.
