TexTools: Toolbox for the texture artist
Documentation: http://www.renderhjs.net/textools/
What is it:
A collection of tools that helps any texture artist with UV and texture related tasks. The main philosophy is to shorten typical steps into simple context sensitive single clicks. You don't need administrative rights, just drag the MZP file into the viewport and let it install itself into your 3dsMax user folders.
Most scripts are developed by me, I asked some people however to share their scripts and let me include them.Note that the scripts are free to improve, change, use for your own, just include the credits should you repackage anything. I stored each tool into a self contagious *.ms file so it should be easy to explore and extend the scripts for your own needs.

Installation: Just drag the MZP file into the viewport and install it from there. All files will be stored in your local 3dsmax userfiles so you don't need any Administrative rights to install it.
This 3dsmax user folder is usually located under:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\2010 - 32bit\enu\
The installation will create a folder within the 'scripts' folder called 'TexTools' in which it will copy all the TexTools files that are needed. Four icon files will be copied into 'UI\usericons' for the macroscripts. Should the installation fail for some reason a prompt window will show up with a instruction on how to copy the files manually to get TexTools running.

The chequered map is squished
The chequered map is squished in the viewport when using 2:1 ratio textures, is there a way of preventing this ? I tried resizing the map but it still views as a 1:1 ratio in the viewports.
Awesome tool btw ;-)

Sorry commented on the wrong tool!
Getting a flat normal
Hi! I have some problems with the tool. When using max own render to texture feature I get a good normal map but when I use your tool for it, my renders comes out flat. Even though everything is setup correctly and in the same manner as when using max's own tool.
The issue is not with the
The issue is not with the program but on how you set Windows TaskBar, move it down and problem solved.
Consider that most people have Windows TaskBar on the bottom, not left.
Good
so great!

One issue
Great tool, though it has one issue. The panel appear on the left corner of a screen, outside 3ds max and I can't move it.
Where is the soft-selction function?
Awesome script! Love it. But are there any plans to integrate the default UV soft select tools? Currently I have to temporarily disable your script whenever I need to access them.
Thanks a bunch!
