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.

Good script

Hello, the script is good but i have some problem with it, windows 7 max 2009 64 bit, whenever i try to attach more than cca 300-400 objects together (dont know the exact number now) it gives me and error and attaches only a part of them (250?). So if i want to attach fore example 6000 objects together i need to re-run the script around 24x to get it all attached together. It gives me this error message:

re WOW!

Thank you for your review and testing. I am glad that you liked. Maybe I will do script "Qucik detach", depends on the mood ;)

WOW!

Wow... i have just tryid it, its really superb :-)!

For example 500 objects (copies), took 20 seconds to attach together using Neil Blevins (otherwise genial (!)) attach script.

Using this script, attached 500 objects was INSTANT (!) (not even 1 second) freaking awesome :-)!

Tried it on 64 bit max 2009.

Could you please also do a "Qucik detach" script?

Woho, super :-), so it uses

Woho, super :-), so it uses different algorytm i gues, why didnt Nail Blevins updated his script for this, dont you know by accident? Will try yours, i merge hunderds of objects so a speed up might be helpful.

re

better when you want to combine, for example, 20 000 objects. Quick Attach can do it for 15 seconds.

Better/faster?

Is it better (quicker) than Neil Blevins Script from the soulburn scripts package please?
