Think this is the same dev.
Think this is the same dev. (Not sure but this could be what you're after) Seems this project is dead. http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/project-manager
DESIGN CONNECTED can paint on objects too.
Drag asset into max and use: merge option > alt key > select obj to choose where you want to align to and use ctrl to rotate and shift+alt which aligns the object to a normal.
It's not written in msx so is 10x faster. The only thing it lacks it .mat support but there's this amazing tool for that. http://www.vizpark.com/shop/material-manager/
Thanks for the info , but HCG AB is exceptional
Thanks for the info, its useful too..
But to be honest HCG AB pro is exceptional.some of the functions cannot find in any other Plugin or Script specially Model Paint option on the scene directly with randomise settings.those things Make workflow more easy and smooth. simply cannot compare :)
I really miss this after upgraded to 3dsmax 2017.

Drag and drop issues
Hi Francisco.
I've just installed HCG pro for max 2015, all loads up fine, can add libraries etc. But when we try to drag and drop library assets into the scene it gives us the standard Open/Merge/Xref dialogue as though it is drageed from the desktop etc.
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers
