Viewport Bookmarks
This is a tool for bookmarking viewport positions. It's especially useful in large scenes.
Features
- Add and remove viewport position bookmarks, and name them.
- Switch between bookmarks by clicking on the bookmark name.
- The window is dockable
- The data is stored persistent in a scene node, which can easily be transferred between scenes:
-- V 0.1 Release
-- V 0.2 The list box is now 28 rows, two little bugs are fixed
-- V 0.3 UI is scalable now, more data is stored: viewport type, fov (courtesy of Simon Bourgeois)
-- V 0.4 right click on a bookmark name updates the bookmark with the current viewport, no need for deleting, and creating a new bookmark everytime you need to change it.
-- V 0.5 the bookmark list can now be reordered with the up and down buttons
Update: you might have to delete the old bookmark node for it to work
Install: Drag and Drop to the Viewport, or drop .ms-file to scripts folder
Tested in Max 2024, 2025
.mzp-file might not work in 2025, use the ms file instead

update button
i love this script - can you add an update button if you update a particular bookmark?
It is interesting
An interesting solution, thanks for your hard work. I will share my thoughts and improvements:
1. I would like to rename by double-clicking or right-clicking the mouse, so as not to waste time, not to move the mouse cursor to the very bottom of the interface.
2. I needed the Update button. The view needs to be fixed. I select the view, select Bookmark and press the Update key. The question immediately arises "how to select a Bookmark without switching to an already saved view. You can turn on the view by double-clicking, and highlight by single or right-click.
3. I would like to see further development in the tool, the appearance of new functions, the use of the right mouse click. Perhaps a choice in bookmark
it will save the state of the scene, such as hidden layers. These additional functions are better implemented in the add-on. in the Settings window.
Your welcome
;)
works perfect thanks Simon
works perfect thanks Simon
Thanks for the feedback!
The Script is now updated. The two bugs are fixed. I also changed the listbox height. I tested only in Max 2024/25
Hi
in line 90 of Trooper_Viewport_Bookmarks.ms:
"listbox 'lbxBookmarks' "Bookmarks" pos:[8,28] width:124 height:25 align:#left"
you need to change "height:30" to "height:25".
thanks but 2....
It's the same problem in 3ds Max 2020
