Clean, repair and organize thousands of splines in no time!

 

Description

Spline Cleaner is an advanced batch processing tool for cleaning, repairing and managing spline curves in Autodesk 3ds Max.

Select, attach, detach and delete multiple shapes using smart filters: by size, by length, by proximity, by similarity, by wirecolor, by layer, etc.

Optimize, normalize, weld vertices, reduce number of vertices, attach selected, explode splines/segments, remove duplicated curves, fix gaps, restore damaged segments, eliminate garbage…
A complete set of spline cleaning tools!

This tool is ideal for cleaning and repairing spline curves imported into 3dsMax from vector drawing software or CAD software, such as Adobe Illustrator or AutoCAD. Either for architectural plans, animation paths, terrain contour lines, logotypes, vector text or any spline-based 3d model or project.

Huge Timesaver!!!!!

I don't write a lot of reviews but i think this one definitely deserves it!
I'm very happy that i found this tool and purchased it.
We are working with massive amounts of imported CAD data and always had to spent hours to get all the splines cleaned up.
With this plugin it is a breeze to do that job. Finding and welding open splines now takes just a few click.
Long story short, if you work a lot with splines and if you want to make your workflow less time consuming then i truly recommend to check this plugin.

Thumbs up for the developers.

Keep up the good job!

Fantastic tool!

Glad I purchased this. I've been bringing in hundreds of complex shapes as Illustrator files (originally raster, converted to vector). They were unwieldy and riddled with overlapping vertices/errors, making it hard to convert to editable poly without holes being errantly filled. I also needed to be able to quickly attach many little pieces.

This script allowed me to attach all, check errors, optimize, weld, and even make renderable in seconds. Max/other scripts can do many of the things in the Spline Cleaner UI, but having them all in one place like this is great. I haven't even tried out all the tools, yet.
