Just simple script to paste image form windows clipboard to 3ds MAX (as reference plate)

It can be used to copy paste selected from Photoshop, screenshot or web page

It reads proportion of image and creates plate with correct aspect ratio.
To try:
Drag and drop to 3ds max window

use my other script - > Favorite Scripts:
1. Install Favorite Scripts (drag and drop to max)
2. place on toolbar (customize -> category Pixamoon)
3. run Favorite Scripts
4. settings
5. choose your favorite scripts root folder
6. create "IO" or "Edit" folder

Is it the same error - while pressing OK ? :

"Error Type - GetDialogPos requires RolloutClass - got undefined" ?

re: change folder for screenshots

oki,
It should be ready now. Please check v0.45

It saves also dialog position and opacity value.
Enjoy :)

save dir

Hey, good idea, I'll do small save settings button + save opacity and window location.
I should have time later today or tomorrow.
Cheers,

change folder for screenshots

Hello
some max tools erase Temp folder regularly so screenshots got lost
could you please make ProjectFolder\sceneassets\images\ for that purpose?
thanks!

It looks bit complicated but will look at it closer soon...
Thanks !

May be sketchup is next?

Okay I'm following you and I can see you are making a great job in collaboration between two different application .. So please let me suggest you to do something really great between 3ds Max & SketchUp ..
Everyone know sketchup and how powerful with measurements and drawing precisely so too many people consider to do modeling there then complete the job at 3ds Max and I found that is very annoying when sometime you need to do everything in 3ds max and few things in sketchup so I dream with something like that:
- Right Click on your selected 3d Model at 3ds Max > Edit with Sketchup > Magically Sketchup will open and You do your fun work there then you just save the file > 3ds Max will update the model there automatically

thanks to scriptspot community
