Slice Tool
This script slices an object at regular intervals along the world axes.
Useful for quickly subdividing a complex mesh homogeneously, for vertex painting or to apply a bend modifiier to it for example.

Update 14/06/2017, Version 1.1:
- Added the distance feature.
Update 15/06/2017, Version 1.2:
- The script is now running way faster.
Update 08/03/2019, Version 1.2.2:
- Fixed the .mzp file.
- The default number of slices is now 1.
How it works
• Just drag n drop the .ms file into the 3DS Max viewport
• Or drag n drop the .mzp file into the 3DS Max viewport, and then in Customize > Customize user interface, you'll find this script under the N00BY category
• Select an object then click "Preview"
• Adjust the number of slices you want or the distance between them
• Set the axis along which you want to slice the object by clicking the "X", "Y" or "Z" button
• Then click "Accept"
General informations
• If your object's local pivot is not aligned with the world axes, you'll need to check "Reset XForm before slicing" ;)
• When changing the number of slices, the distance value will auto-update and vice versa ;)

Really like this in MAX 2017 works nice.
I couldn't get the MZP to install and set up the category in MAX2017 but I opened it in script editor and dragged to toolbar. Ridiculous handy for many modeling uses.
Try using this along with Rapid Spline Deformer script. NICE!
;)
Glad I could help :)

Hi, you should add "max create mode" because in mofify mode the slice modifiers slow down the script.
