Of course it is only a workaround for symmetrical object...

Select your object and run ! It symmetrize the weight from x positive side. As this command normalize the weights it then re symmetrize from the x negative side.
Tell me if it works for you.

var oPenguin = Selection.item(0);
var osymTemplate = CreateSymmetryMappingTemplate(oPenguin, true, 0, true);

var oGeometry = oPenguin.activeprimitive.geometry;
var oPoints = oGeometry.Points;

var oHalfPointsPlus = new Array();
var oIncr = 0
oEnum = new Enumerator( oPoints ) ;
for (;!oEnum.atEnd();oEnum.moveNext() )
{
    var oPos = oEnum.item ().position;
    if(oPos.x >= 0)
    {
        oHalfPointsPlus[oIncr] = oEnum.item().index;
        oIncr = oIncr+1;
    }
}
SymEnvWeight(null, oPenguin+".pnt["+oHalfPointsPlus.toString()+"]", osymTemplate, 0);

var oHalfPointsMinus = new Array();
var oIncr = 0
oEnum = new Enumerator( oPoints ) ;
for (;!oEnum.atEnd();oEnum.moveNext() )
{
    var oPos = oEnum.item().position;
    if(oPos.x <= 0)
    {
        oHalfPointsMinus[oIncr] = oEnum.item().index;
        oIncr = oIncr+1;
    }
}
SymEnvWeight(null, oPenguin+".pnt["+oHalfPointsMinus.toString()+"]", osymTemplate, 0);

Hey gang,
 
this is something that has been bothering me for a while now, how can I fix points that don't have a combined envelope weight of 100 %? I ran the script that Homam Bahnassi wrote for checking weights (cool tool)... problem is that it ends up tagging almost all the points on my charaters head. Now usually I would forge ahead and fix the weighting by hand, but this must be a comon problem so I thought I'd ask if anyone out there had a trick ( read script) up their sleeve for dealing with this annoying problem?
