hi all

this was done for a very certain task...
i'm working with team mates who work in maya platform while most of the work is done by 3ds max and it plugins..and i work on both but better at 3ds max..

If you ever tried to export an FBX file from maya to max you will suffer from two or three basic things,
1: all materials are phong with high specular
2: some maps were defined in maya in som way that max understands them as maps with map channel != 1,then the need a uvw mapping
3: some faces problems
-----
fixing these in a very big scene could be very painful

CAD Cleaner

A utility script to weld vertices and clean up smoothing in imported/converted CAD models. Works on Editable_Mesh objects in selection. Does not work on objects with an Edit_Mesh or Edit_Poly modifier applied. I use this to do a first-pass quick cleanup on imported SolidEdge models; it helps eliminate duplicate faces and odd smoothing groups.

This short script allows the user to automatically select all objects in a scene that do not have a material or do have a 'Global Architectural' material applied to them.
This is useful especially for users who work with imported data from AutoCAD.

Simply drag and drop the script into your 3ds max viewport after the import process is finished, et voilà.

Obj-Selector of obj without a UVWMap modifier

This short script allows the user to automatically select all
objects in a scene that do not have a 'UVW Map' modifier applied to them.
This is useful especially for users who work with imported data from AutoCAD. The imported data contains uvw information, but in most cases the uvw coordinates need an overwork. This script makes it easier to isolate those objects in the scene.

Simply drag and drop the script into your 3ds max viewport after the import process is finished, et voilà.
