Doom Spline Resizer - draw line with precise lenght

This simple script will let you draw precise lines quickly almost as a CAD software!
It will Set the pivot to the first vertex of a shape object and align it to the first segment. A window will show up allowing to set the Lengh of a spline scaling from the first vertex.

You can find the mcr script in the Category:"_Scripts"
The .ms script will just load on RUN

USAGE:
For best use associate the script to a Key button (es. D that is free by default)
You can add a toolbar button found in "# Scripts" category
Use the key or press the toolbar button to start drawing a line

A simple script I wrote for my daily work. Maybe it will be useful for someone.
Rotation and Scale transormations are restricted to "geometry" and "helper" objects to avoid any errors.

- ROTATE selected objects by selected angle in specified axis
- RESET position / rotation / scale of selected objects in selected or all axes
- ALIGN position / rotation / scale of selected objects to min / average / max in specified axes
- apply a RANDOM (with given min and max values) position / rotation / scale in specified axes to selected objects.

Radius Scale

Radius Scale sets the working pivot to the intersection of 2 coplanar lines, then selects the loop between the initial selection and switches to the scale tool. Useful for changing the radius of rounded corners. Right now the script references the Smart Loop feature of Miauu's Script Pack 2. I'm using it to loop between the 2 selected edges, but if you don't have his script you can delete the following lines and select manually instead,or come up with something else that does the job, or buy his script :)

Dimensionize the current vertex-selection of your object, undo is possible.

Tronotools Quick Link Lock Info

A small tool I created to more quickly handle link locks. You can globally lock or unlock everything with one button. Same with just movement, rotate or scale separately. Supports multiple objects and behaves just like the normal 3dsMax Hierarchy->Link Info System.

Simple script, if people find it useful I'll make a gui and add a bit more to it. But the whole premise was to just quickly build a tool I could differentiate big objects from small objects in my scene based on VolSize variable in the script.

What I used it for was to fracture objects for a big landslide for a film, and then I wanted to use this script to tell me which objects were big so I would then work on making them procedurally break more, whereas I didn't want the small pieces to sub-fracture because that would be overkill.

- DISPLAY the real dimensions of selected objects (with transformations) or the selection bounding box
- SCALE objects to exact dimensions in world units, object rotation can be ignored
- UNIFY the dimensions of objects in selection to min / center / max values (per axis)

mental ray Proxy Manipulator

Working with mental ray proxies can be very tedious. As they are used for vegetation alot, the need for variation is there, to make it look believable. This script gives you options to vary scale and all animations aspects of all selected mr proxies. It also has a minimized version where you can quickly change the viewport resolution of your proxies, helping to speed up the viewport alot.

There’s already a lot of PRS randomizer tool available in maxscript, but what I found missing the most was a real time visualization of the randomized transformations applied. Video available in the full post.
