Description

I wrote this tool as I was sick of the default collapse tool crapping out when trying to collapse large amounts of objects. So far this has tool has been pretty rock solid. I mainly use it when I need to work with CAD files that I have imported. It is pretty self explanatory.

I am currently working on the code to create a multisub when collapsing it is mostly working now there are just a few small things I need to fix up to make it more robust. As soon as that is ready I will update the script.

Cheers,

Dave

suggestion

Hi,

Your script is absolutely wonderful. I just want to suggest some more valuable feature.

1. If you can have an option to place the resulting pivot to bottom center, center, top center, that will be awesome. Or at least bottom center for common use.

2. I tried using collapse by material option but I was so surprised to find out that it processed the entire scene instead of processing just the selected objects.

3. The "Scene Hold" option is defenitely important. Is it possible to remember the last option if the user want to turn it off? Everytime I open your script, the "scene hold" option is always turned on. If I am just going to collapse dinner plates and the scene is already 100mb size, the collapse operation had been taking for 10 minutes while if this is turned off, the operation will take only about 2 seconds or even less.

Regards

Collapse by material ?

Hi,

Great script, thank you so much !

Anyway, I can't have collapse by material function working properly.
Any idea what's wrong (3dsmax design 2015 x64)?

Thank you again

How to download it ?

Hi,

This script is exactly what I am looking for, thank you for sharing it.
Unfortunately I can't access your website, so I can't download it ...
Is there any way to download it somewhere else please ?
Thank you,
