NO one of these scripts work in 3ds MAx 2024... Some suggestion or replacement? Thank you!

Sorry for my late answer! That's greate! It's so usefull in the scene management!
Two minor problems:

. When I run the script, "nothing" seems to happen. In real, you need to move a liiiiittle bit the view to update the viewport. The same goes when I exit from the Isolate mode.
With the traditional 3das Max Isolate mode, everything is perfect.

. Is it tpossible to remember the position of the LAYER ISOLATE toolbox? Every time, the position of the UI is in the center of the viewport. It's annoyinbg. Better, for example, in the lower right corner =)

Thank you!

Glad i could help!

Try the second link i've posted,
I've simplified the script to make it work with the built-in isolate selection mode, so there won't be no layer isolate UI element anymore.
If you prefer the other version i can modify it, but if you like the second version it would be better :)
for install it's in "simonscript" category

It works but you need to have the layer explorer open. I will edit it so it works with the layer explorer closed.
