No reports yet for the available releases.
Choose the 3ds Max version you use. For example, selecting 2020 puts direct matches for 2020 first, followed by listings that say a supported version or newer.
Scripts that only mention an older version can still appear as “2020 unconfirmed.” Listings that rule out 2020 are excluded. Use “Show scripts with unconfirmed compatibility” to also see listings without a clear match.
Community reports show what worked for members on a specific release. They’re separate from the listing’s compatibility claims and don’t change the filter.

GridWork is a set of tools for working with grid based tiles of geometry. It primarily features things like offsetting objects by the spacing and direction of the current grid, moving shifted off selections of geometry back on the grid, and replacing uninstanced pieces of geometry with instances of a reference object.
Installation:
- Run the script using MaxScript -> Run Script
- Go to Customize -> Custom User Interface
- It can be found in a category called "# SmallpolyScripts" under the group "Main UI."
- Add it to a button, menu, etc.
Known Bugs:
- The offset function does not currently take hierarchical models into account. This causes child nodes to move in addition to their parent objects even though the movement has already been inherited. This issue also currently affects groups.

Thank you for a great tool!
I wonder if you could add a feature, "Round off values"
By selecting eg verts, and then set to round off to e.g. 10, 1, 0.1, 0.001 in current unit (which could be cm or mm), then the vertex location will have a round value to exact numbers, like 1.1131 round to 1.0 will be 1.0 and so on.
This would help working in precise grids even poly vertex level or spline vertex level.
Thanks!

Hey, just saw this. Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into it when I get the chance to work on this one again.
