This post details how I set up an automated decal numbering system.

The ID can be used for material assignment purposes, in this case it is to drive a sprite sheet that renders that number to a material.

At a minimum the script should be a good jump point for automating parts of procedural artwork.

In this tutorial, we will learn how we can replace the Remove Material utility with our own tool using a single line Maxscript, and we will learn how to convert this line of code to a regular tool by creating a button for it and place it on our toolbar. The reason for this is that the built-in tool is missing the Undo operation.
