When importing models, there is often a single first smoothing group when the object is broken into elements. When seams are welded together, the result is not a model with faces, but a monolithic piece by Smoothing group.
To solution this problem: In subobjects 5 (Elements) added a function to assign a different smoothing group to each element. To RUN this function press ESC+5. After that all seams of surfaces can be soldered normally.

If selected 0 Work to all objects
If Shift pressed then will select objects by geometry vertex count.
If Shift NOT pressed then will select by center objects position

Simple tools for working with splines in 3dsMax.

These tools includes:

• -Selection filtering *Select only closed *Select only open 
• -Clean up *Convert to spline and perform overlapping points weld.
• -Close all *Close all splines
• -Set points to corner/smooth/bezier/bezierCorner *Sub-object level sensitive
• -Select by length *Select and sort splines by input length
• -Sort *Detach open splines
• -Explode *Explode shape object to splines (not segments)
• -VArranger *Arrange selected splines by input z values and optionaly create a surface. Used to create terrain from drawing.

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.
