Instalation: Drag-n-drop mzp files in 3ds max. Go to Customize-Custumize User Interface, under "miauu" category you will find the script.

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.

Skip Every N-th

Skip every vert/edge/face. In Loop mode, you can skip edges and polygons. In Ring mode you can skip vertices,edges and polygons. To make poly loop select 3 faces(the middle one is starting face), check PolyLoop checkbox, set "Skip V-E-P" spinner to value greater then 2 and start skiping. You can't skip one face, only 2 or more. Ring mode does not have this limitation. "For Steps" spinner works only with edges. If you want to skip every 2 edges five times, set "Skip" spinner to 2 and "For Steps" spinner to 5. Instalation: Drag-n-drop SkipEveryNthVEPRingLoop.mzp to 3ds max.

Modo selections style in 3ds max, but only for edges.

Assign a hotkey(or button), select 2 verts/edges/faces woth desired gap between them and start pressing your hotkey.

Work only with Editable Poly objects

Instalation:
Drag-n-drop "StepGapEdgeLoopLR.mzp" and "StepGapEdgeLoopLR.mzp" in 3ds max. Go to Customize-Customize User Interface. Under "miauu" category you will find "Step Gap Edge Loop Right-Left" and "Step Gap Edge Loop Right-Left".

With length calculator you can easily calculate the length of the selected edges. Very usefull for arch modeling. In the next release it will also support shapes.

***I have uploaded a 2009 compatible version.

PolyRotor is a modeling script that based on drag & drop.

PolyRotor make it possible to select vertex, edge and faces automatically.

But it should be in Editable Poly Mode.

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.
