Select Every N-th-no UI

If you want to select every 2nd or 3rd or 4th, etc edges, just select the first edge, skip the desired number of edges and select the second edge, then execute the script.

If you want to see the time that script needs to make a selection, just start MAXScript Listener.

Instalation: Drag 'n drop two mzp files in 3ds max, then go to Customize - Customize User Interface. Under "miauu" category you can find "Gap Loop" and "Gap Ring" scripts.

On the video below the script works 3 times slower, because of Camtasia and my old, single core PC.

This tool just holds a list of key objects u want to quickly select or view. helpful when in a scene with a crapload of nodes when ur really only animating a few of them. Additionally if u right click an item in the list u will zoom extents of it (if geometry), or look from its perspective (camera or light). It also keeps the list variables as persistant... so u can open and close it without changin the list.. even closing and loading the scene.

Allows you to select objects that are similar to the currently selected object. It will compare the bounding box size, mesh (vert, face, edge counts) and material either within the currently visible objects or all objects in the scene.
