This script quickly brings together a large number of objects. just this script can be used to reset Xforms.

Additional Info: 

- this script disables undo of 3ds max, and programm doesn't crash with error "out of memory"
- very fast work with a few thousand objects
- Normals button fixes the problem with the normals. Sometimes it does not become the normal right after the attach operation.

work with materials:
If you selected Editable Mash, then the materials will be assigned to the new object as a "Math Material IDs to Material" and "Condence Material and IDs"

If chosen Editable Poly, then the materials will be assigned to a new object based on the most recent settings Attach Options to Editable Poly. To change create two Editable Poly object with different materials and make Attach one to the other. In the dialog box, change the Attach Options.

Installation:
for installing you should drag&drop script into 3ds Max or make "Run script..." from menu scripts
Find it in Customize -> Customize user interface -> Toolbars.

That's a great script. But...

That's a great script.

But I found a bug.
If 'selection lock toggle' is on and the script runs, it stops.

Layers

Great script, thanx a lot. Much faster than Soulburn Attach selected.
But one small thing would make it even better. Right now the new object becomes unnested. Could it be done so that 'optionally* new object stays in same layer as the first selected objects.

Assign Hotkey?

It works good in max 2018. It would be greater if I can assign a hot key and when run, it will remember the last setting. Thanks!

Noticed a bug

Noticed that if you don't close and reopen the script in between separations, there are weird issues coming up (models disappearing and whatnot). Other than that works great.

the great script I use it so

the great script I use it so much please add a function that it does the inverse operation (detach all elements )

Disappointed:(

This would be a really great script, but: when attaching lots of objects often a lot of elements have randomly flipped normals. This does not happen with normal attaching in 3dsMax.
