Set individual transform keys

Need to key only the X position, or the Z rotation? This is a very basic script that pops up a little window having position X, Y and Z buttons individually, and the same for rotation. I left scale out of this since you'd have to assign a new controller for that to happen individually.

This script cycles through the coordinate system of the move tool. Press once for 'View' - again for 'Local' and once more for 'Parent'. Each press advances a coordinate system. Best when mapped to the 'W' key - replacing the standard 'Move' Tool.

I found when exporting from Sketchup in 3DS format I tended to use 'Export: Objects in Heirachy' which keeps the names of the objects in the transfer.

Shoots a ray through the scene to determine the closest face on any object then sets the viewport transform matrix so the this face is oriented perpendicular to the view.

Allows movement of selected object(s) using arrow keys. This was the behavior in 3dsmax prior to version7.

Magnetic

An alternative to using attachment constraints - use magnetic 2.1 to attach mesh/poly objects to the surface of another mesh object using the painter interface or a guide shape and each attached object will retain its position and orientation respective to the surface as the surface is animated.
