This is my first script in 3D Max. I wrote it for my own purpose to speed up modelling of the most boring things in architectural visualisations. Windows and doors. This script helps to make simple windows and doors with divisions of your own need. Just place a box as a symbol of a door or a window and imagine that the segments of this box are the divisions of your window or door. iw there are segments on the depth side of the box, the script will obey it and remove as it will know that the shortest side of the box shoud not be divided, So if You happen to divide the box in too many dimensions, it does not matter. The only up-limit for the detailed windows are the 3x3 divisions. Low detailed windows are infinite. Enjoy it and i hope it is usefull. I wrote it for max 2012 so I do not know if it works under other versions.

Bug + improvement

Hi,

Thank you for this great script :)

However I found a bug: sometimes (quite randomly it seems) the resulting window height is not the same as the input box. I mean, let's say I select a box which is 100 cm width x 200 cm height. Then I run the script, and the resulting window is 100 cm width x 197 cm height (given I choose 3 cm for the windowsill height).

And, as an improvement, it would be great if you could set 2 different IDs for the glass: one for the inner face and another for the outer one so that each glass pane can receive a different material.

Thank you again !

Suggestion

I think ,if you make it use poly object instead of box it will be more handy ,like using borders as symbol .
