"on Click" with label, block Max and script execution

Submitted by Romeh on Tue, 2013-08-27 06:43

Hello, i am looking for some help.

In the code bellow, when you clik on the label, it start a quick render.

The problem is that 3dsmax is totally blocked until the render is finished.
And its totaly impossible to stop the current render. do you know a solution ?

i seen that it's not the case with a button and "on btn pressed" .
But i have to put some img in this label, and use Mousehover function etc.... so it's why i use a label instead of a button)

Thanks you

"Select" and "select exclude" objects by name

Submitted by chooj on Sun, 2015-12-06 08:49

Is there a way to select all objects, except some, by name? For example, I want to select and delete all, except objects named "important_object_001", "important_object_002", "important_object_003". How should I do this?

Hello.

This is a question I've posted on many forums and never got an answer.

In a scripted simpleObject plug-in, I'd like the parameters to be set to default values the first time I run the plug-in but, for some of them, to remember previous changes the next time (in the same session).

In the MAXScript User Reference, Scripted Plug-in Clauses, I've found this:

"Umlaut" in strings

Submitted by br0t on Wed, 2011-01-19 15:24

Heyho,

I am loading UVs into an Unwrap modifier with maxscript, which right now only seems to be possible with a UIAccessor-Workaround, that essentially searches for the "Open"-button and presses it for me. It is slow, but still a lot faster than myself and I can do something else while it is busy. The thing that bothers me is, that on my german OS, it does not have to search for the "Open"-button, but for the "Öffnen"-button. But it does not recognize the Umlaut ("Ö") when I put it like this:

 
UIAccessor.PressButtonByName WindowHandle "&Öffnen"

"while not eof f do" but from the second line

Hi,

I would like to read an external file but not from the first line, from the second one.

Is there a simple way ?

Thanks

'Convert selected" in xRef Scenes

Submitted by remykonings on Mon, 2021-03-15 12:57

I like to know if it is possible to program the "convert selected" method located in the xRef Scenes dialog.

I can't find any reference to it unfortunately yet.

I like to xref my selection and re-add it again to the scene as an xref scene.

Hoping for some help. Thank you :)

'Override' option - bitmap dialog window ?

Submitted by riff-raff on Thu, 2018-05-24 03:30

Hi guys ,
As you can see i've got a problem with the access to this 'override' option for gamma change.

I've tried to find something in 3dsmax manual first ,google it,but with no success.

Default gamma i'm using is 2.2.
There is a need to load normal maps and change it to gamma:1.0.Its a simple script to generate material and load the proper maps into it.
Fileingamma is working somehow ,but its not the way i want.Cause any transfer to different scene is giving result 2.2 again.
