 The Outliner 2.0 is a fast and easy to use scene management tool. It has a wide range of features, including selecting, hiding, freezing, linking and grouping objects in the "Hierarchy Mode". In the "Layer Mode" you can organize your scene by dragging&dropping objects from one layer to the other. What's more, the Outliner offers support for nested layers, to manage scenes more efficiently. The interface is nimble enough to keep it open constantly.

OutFiler file browser

The OutFiler is a simple but powerful file browser inside 3dsmax that completely replaces standard save/load/save selected/merge/import/export dialogs. I believe folder tree much more comfortable and transparent.

The OutFilers provides the ability to quickly find the necessary folders, save the history of movements along them with back/next buttons and recent list and the favorite paths for quick access to working scenes.

Delete UnRemovable Layer

Submitted by 3dline on Fri, 2017-05-26 16:12

You might encounter a situation where you want to remove an empty layer that you created earlier, but the delete option is grayed out in the layer manager. and you are unable to remove that layer. After all you have to remember that 3Ds Max never allows you to delete a layer while it contains nodes or the default layer called “0”. But in some rare situations, even an empty layer that you created and then finished with, may not be deletable in 3Ds Max. This happens because of some unclassified nodes that come with your imported models from other programs. These nodes are not visible in the viewport or the layer manager. The only way to eliminate them is to select those nodes using MaxScript and delete them manually, so the layer’s delete option becomes available again.
