"3ds Max as BIM" project
The "3ds Max as BIM" project is an educational tool used to implement Building Information Modeling features within 3ds Max.
Current release includes: DWG Plans Extraction Assistant, Windows and Doors Attributes Assignment (u-factor, fire rating etc...), Windows and Doors Data Extraction to Spreadsheets and walls/slabs/stairs volume data export for material takeoffs.
Download the archive and follow the instructions contained in the readme file. Extract maxscript files and execute them from the maxscript menu or open in maxscript editor, select the code and drag it to a toolbar to make it one of you favorite macros.
The compressed archive includes a sample MAX 2010 file with standard layer scene organization that can be used for testing the scripts.
I hope you will enjoy using 3ds Max as BIM!

Hi,
We are trying to run DPEA V1.0 but show some issues "IsolateSelection.EnterIsolateSelectionMode()". Could you help us?

Thank you obaida for your
Thank you obaida for your compliments and feedback. I think the best foreseeable development would be to see the 3dsMaxAsBim tools integration within 3ds Max Design, similarly to scripted plugins like AEC objects.
Kind regards.
Thank you
its a huge work thank you for making it free , but i think if you merge this scripts with another plugins like (FuturArch) it will be better cause this plugins have the ability to build , so if you merge your info with its element maybe we will have a (Full construction and BIM System), and that will be more usable .
