Select Every N-th-no UI

If you want to select every 2nd or 3rd or 4th, etc edges, just select the first edge, skip the desired number of edges and select the second edge, then execute the script.

If you want to see the time that script needs to make a selection, just start MAXScript Listener.

Instalation: Drag 'n drop two mzp files in 3ds max, then go to Customize - Customize User Interface. Under "miauu" category you can find "Gap Loop" and "Gap Ring" scripts.

On the video below the script works 3 times slower, because of Camtasia and my old, single core PC.

This script override selection mode in EditablePoly/UnwrapUVW AND allow to Convert subobject selection to an another in EditablePoly and Unwrap

Hit 1 or 2/3/4/5 ==> go in vertex/edge/..() mode
Re-hit 1 or 2/3/4/5 ==> go in object mode and you can select another object!
I have added a line, with "Max modify mode", like this, if your are not in "modify panel" when you select an object and hit 1 to set vertex mode, the script go automatically in the panel "modify"

Install:
Go in Customize User Interface, Group "Main UI", Category "zOffTy Tools" and set
1 for epoly_vertex

Connect Always

By default, Max has two separate commands for Connecting Edges and Connecting Vertices. You had to have two menus for both of them.With Connect Always, you just have to select the vertices/edges and hit "Connect Always"

Here is the code if you dont want to download:-

macroscript Connect_always
Category: "Butt tools" buttonText: "Connect Always"
(
$.EditablePoly.ConnectVertices ()
$.EditablePoly.ConnectEdges ()
)

The category and buttontext is needed if you want to put it in a menu or quad.

Edge Loop Straighten with Constraints

Submitted by PolyHertz on Sat, 2019-07-20 06:18

Edge Loop Straighten with Constraints works like this:
Selected one or more partial loop(s) of edges, run the script, and it will straighten all the verts between the end verts of the loop(s). What makes this script different from others of its kind is that it fully supports all three geometry constraint modes; edge, face, and normal constraints.

Just a simple modifier to connect edges selected with the previous "edit poly" "editable poly" or "poly select" modifier. Currently I tested my script on 3dsmax 2020, I will try to test it on older version of 3ds max and update this page if I can. If you have any question or any requirement, don't hesitate to ask me or to contact me. I will be happy to answer you.
