ExpertMode Modifiers Control
This little tool will allow you to control modifiers of selected object without accessing the command panel especially when it's active Expert Mode. Tooltip on the image below shows list of actions.
Basic usage and list of actions:
List of actions ( LABEL ):
When an object is selected its name will appear in the label.
[ LMB ] >>> Press "Left Mouse Button" on label and move to change form position.
[ MMB ] >>> Press "Middle Mouse Button" on label to select base object.
[ RMB ] >>> Press "Right Mouse Button" on label to open context menu with list of all assigned modifiers. Menu Checkboxes shows whether the modifiers are enabled.
List of actions ( CONTEXT MENU ):
[ LMB ] >>> Press LMB on the context menu item to select named modifier.
[ MMB ] >>> Pressing MMB on the context menu item will enable or disable named modifier.
[ RMB ] >>> Press RMB on the context menu item to remove named modifier from selected object.
Close this tool by pressing "Red" button or place over it to see the tooltip.

Update 1.1 >>> Added support for max2016

thank you
Thanks so much for sharing this, I am using it on Max 2020 and it works flawlessly. I consider it on of few essential scripts when using Max for modeling, truly an outstanding tool.

I have currently installed Avast 2014,2017. Now I will probably replace the old version with the newly released version. Don't know how to work in 2014 and 2017 and you have a problem in 2016. It's really easy to update with the latest version.
Are you have Installed Avast 2018 on your PC?
If not then you can use this link to download avast here

Hi vikirecon
I tested this tool in max 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018 both on Windows 8.1 and Win 10 and it works. Sorry, but I really do not know what could cause the problem with RC menu. Maybe design version of max but not sure.
