Outliner
Version:
2.1.5
Date Updated:
09/13/2012 The Outliner 2.0 is a fast and easy to use scene management tool. It has a wide range of features, including selecting, hiding, freezing, linking and grouping objects in the "Hierarchy Mode". In the "Layer Mode" you can organize your scene by dragging&dropping objects from one layer to the other. What's more, the Outliner offers support for nested layers, to manage scenes more efficiently. The interface is nimble enough to keep it open constantly.
Additional Info:
Compared to the previous version (1.6.1), there are many improvements. Most notable among them are: hugely increased performance, improved stability, nested layer support and many small tweaks to improve the ease of use. For a list of all changes, click here

btw i have a nvidia graphic card.... just to pinpoint that isn't related to such a limitations."
the 2012 sp1 fixed this problem ;)
the bug was due nitrous driver.
Installation
Thanks a lot, PJanssen.
I've installed Outliner. The problem was with downloading installer via Opera. Opera automatically rename it to *.zip, then i extract archive and try to install it by running outliner_install.ms in 3ds max.
Sorry to bother you

If you can, could you try installing it on another 3dsmax version with Windows7? I would like to know whether the problem is windows7 or 3dsmax 2012 specific.
Problems with installation
hi PJanssen,
I'm using Win7 x86 and 3ds max design 2012, i can't install outliner, keep getting the same error
"Copying new files failed. This could be caused by high security settings. Please see the Maxscript Listener for details."
In Maxscript Listener:
Outliner installer exception:

Help please.
Thanks! Someone on polycount
Thanks!
Someone on polycount mentioned the default layer bug too. I will fix that.

pjanssen,
i realized the potential of outliner not long ago, and finally, recently i implemented it in my workflow, man, it made my life easier...
only fair to make a donation, that i actually did recently.
looking forward to see outliners evolution... :)
btw. i think i found a bug, in one occasion i accidentally moved the default layer into another, after that i could not move it back..., i just reproduced the problem, create other layer, then select the default, and press the plus icon of the other one...
hi PJanssen,no filter is
hi PJanssen,
no filter is activated.... it happens only if outliner start on max2012 startup and nitrous driver are used. if i start outliner manually after maxstartup all is fine.
i also need to close the outliner while loading or merging a scene in the current max window... because it's like to have it on startup.
nitrous has a lot of problem... for example one is how nurbs are dispalyed.... the node aren't visible.. only meshed is possible.
i'm not saying that the outliner is buggy but there is a conflict inbetween.
