Biped Manipulator – 3dsmax MAXScript, allows to select fast any objects/bones and also the whole groups of objects as arms, legs and spine. Since manipulator uses objects names to select objects/bones it is possible to use it with any rigs systems like Character Studio, CAT, custom rigs etc. Biped Manipulator doesn’t occupy much screen place. If there are several bipeds on the scene it is possible to use for convenience several Biped Manipulators.

v2.1.1 (19.06.2023) Fixed manipulator color and installation paths for 3ds Max 2024+

 v2.1.0 (03.12.2009)
- Added support for Biped Knuckles bones (default).
- "Unhide Selection" macro script included.

v2.0.0 (01.04.2009) 
- Hand Manipulator is merged with Biped Manipulator. To switch between them use Shift+click on "F/f".
- All manipulator parts are configurable.
- Rewritten selection functions

Additional Info: 

Installation:

Scripted Objects/Helpers (*.ms) should be placed in maxroot/plugins/ and are then accessed through the “Create panel” in 3dsmax.
How to use manipulators read in the 3dsmax help, chapter Manipulator Helper Objects

Version Requirement:

I just ran the script and it

I just ran the script and it worked in in 2009 x64. Have you tried running the script? Typically all scripts are forward compatible unless they're really old (circa max 2/3) or used ActiveX controls (which this doesn't) and then they don't work with 64bit Windows even though they're forward compatible with Max...

Hope that helps,
