MASS RANDOMIZE: Randomize one property on all nodes at once
SELECT/DELETE BY CLASS: Select all objects with a meshsmooth, or all spheres or all objects with a path constraint etc
FULL INSTANCE/REFRENCE TOOLS: Make all objects/modifiers of a class or selection instances. Make Base object refrences. replace base objects with another obj (eg make all selected boxes an instance of a vrax proxie.) Available for Modifiers and Base objects only ATM.
LOAD/SAVE PRESETS: Load and save presets in xml format for modifiers, objects, etc.
Specific Features (Can be done to All or selected):

Can Zorb do what I need within Max 2018?
I'm currently running Max 2018.
I have made a layer of about 500 molecules squeezed against each other in a plane, representing a biological membrane. I start by making a single molecule, and then I apply a Position List + Noise Position and also a Rotation List + Noise Rotation to that molecule. With the appropriate noise parameters, the molecule slightly vibrates and rotates slightly, giving the impression of random thermal motion. Then I make a bunch of copies of that molecule in a plane (about 500 copies). The copies all vibrate and rotate identical to the original molecule from which they were copied.
So, what I need to do is to change the "seed" for both the Noise Position and the Noise Rotation for each of the 500 molecules so that each one vibrates and rotates differently.
How can I accomplish this more easily than doing it manually for each of the 500 molecules? Is Zorb something that can do this and will it work in Max 2018?
Thanks,

so I have a few dozen objects
so I have a few dozen objects with a chamfer modifier on the top of the modifier stack. I wanted to get rid of all of these and when I used the delete funcion in the script it deleted some shell modifiers too. those where below the chamfer. the stack was like this (from top to bottom): chamfer - shell - meshsmooth - editable poly object.
I didnt check all the objects, maybe there were other problems too, idk. but when I make a testscene with only one object it works...
max18 + win7
---
update: the objects were instanced and I can reproduce the problem easily in an other scene. just made a box, converted it to poly, deleted the top polygon, dropped a meshsmooth on it with 5 iteration (yep, a simple bowl), put a shell on it and chamfered the edges with the modifier. made like 10 instances, used the script and this time it deleted all the modifiers. :)
---
also, in max18 the edit button appearence funcion doesent working due to its incredibly complex behavior (or maybe its just shit...), that means when I put the script to a toolbar I cant edit its appearence and now here I am with an invisible button because the icons are not working with the new UI either and I cant even change its name to have something on the button... :)
Yeah, I have pretty limited
Yeah, I have pretty limited time for this these days, but if its a simple fix I'll give it a go! Can you describe the exact setup that causes this?
3dsmax 2018
I have some issues with the script in 3dsmax 2018, fe: deleting a modifier deletes other modifiers too. will we have an update or you dont really have the time for this little gem anymore? :)
Cheers! Good to hear it

Great tool Jordan Walsh! I added the MultiRes modifier to a bunch of objects only to realize 2 days later that adding MultiRes modifier tripled my file size and I've forgot to which objects I added the modifier but then I found your script and your script saved me.

Using 2.8.03 adding modifier
Using 2.8.03 adding modifier and copying modifiers works fine.
The workflow can be a bit confusing though as the tool works in a "Class-centric" way, not on individual objects.
If you want to add a uvw modifier to all objects that have a meshsmooth, simply go to the Modifiers Tab and right click on "Meshsmooth" in the Modifiers list and choose "Add Modifier".
The selected object in the Max viewport only effects the filtering you can do. All the functions are run on the Modifers/Base Objects etc in the Modifier Zorb window.
Add Modifiers Broken under Max 2017
Hello, I select an object and select "add modifier", choose a modifier (Uvwmap for instance), hit "Add Modifier" and nothing. Modifier not added. If I add a modifier manually to the first part, I can't get copy/paste to even work to apply the modifier to the other selected parts.
