Sergo's script pack
SCRIPTS IN PACK:
RotateClockWise,
RotateCounterClockWise,
RotateAround - three scripts for easy, one-click rotating objects on 90, -90 and 180 degree around active axis and in current coordinate system. Scripts also rotate UVW Mapping gizmo and Slice sub-object.
- to rotate a copy of the object - press shift+script button on the toolbar
3PointScale - script for scaling separate objects by specifing 3 points. Like AutoCAD's 'scale by reference' command. Uniform scaling supported.
!take care of proper snap mode - for example, when scaling in top viewport for correct result 2.5d snap must be chosen
!take care of proper reference coordinate system mode - script only supports world, scene node and local system
3PointRotation - script for rotating objects and groups by specifing 3 points.
Like AutoCAD's 'rotate by reference' command
Angle spinner added- now you can set the custom angle while rotating about chosen point
!take care of proper snap mode - for example, when rotating in top viewport for correct result 2.5d snap must be chosen
TapeCoordSys - this tool helps you to create tape object and then select it for coordinate system object in one step. It turns on 3d snap mode automaticly and returns to old snap mode after exit.
BuildingMaker - Script for creating simple building models from splines
StripesTexture - Script for creating random or regular stripe texture
TransformationJitter - Apply random transformations to selected objects
WhiteVPBackground - Toggle change viewport background color to white or to the default (125,125,125) to change default VP color to your settings, edit the script.
Very handy for printing viewport screenshots.

Thanks for updating the move-with-keyboard script. I use it all the time. Just like photoshop nudge so very intuitive for me to use,
I updated MoveWithKeyboard
I updated MoveWithKeyboard script to support Object coordinate system and some others too. Check it out http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/move-with-keyboard and let me know how it works. Also let me know the version of your 3ds max.
