Primitives Default Override

If like me you constantly zero out the segments of planes, cylinders and other tubes and cones you create, this script is for you.
It replaces the primitives creation macroscripts shipping with 3dsMax so that :
Cylinders, Tubes and Cones : Height Segments = 1, Sides = 16 (18 is only symmetrical on one axis)
Planes segments = 1x1
Teapot segments = 8 (as suggested by a good friend of mine ; this Teapot deserves a face lift)

I recommend putting it in the following location so that it overrides the one in the max root folder :

Proportional Plane

Creates a plane object whose proportions match the specified bitmap. Those proportions are locked (via parameter wiring) - so the plane can be resized without losing aspect ratio.

Purge Empty Layers

This script deletes all empty layers. In max 2015 (at this time) it can keep ALL nested layers (user prompt) if any one of them has objects on it. In other words, if a user chooses "Yes" at the query, ONLY layers with NO children AND no objects will be deleted. All nested hierarchies are maintained down to the last layer that has objects in it. Choosing "No" at the prompt will unnest all layers and delete all empty layers. When using a version of max prior to 2015, the script will simpy delete any empty layers. There are no nesting options in previous versions of the Layer Manager.

Quick Selection is a handy utility that provides several methods for selecting and managing objects within the scene, including the following:

  • Selection by Category
  • Selection by Stored Objects
