Nested Layer Manager 2 For 3ds Max

44 votes

Nested Layer Manager 2 provides the ability to nest layers in 3ds Max. This script is small, fast and allows layers to be nested in an unlimited number of folders. It has complete 2 way communication with the default layer manager; If anything is altered in either, both layer managers are updated. This allows people without this script installed to still see the normal layer organisation present in the file.

Nested Layer Manager has a free 30 day trial.

A tiny little script to reset 3DS Max “floating” Windows to position 0,0 in upper left when they are gone or out of range.
Just give me a note or comment to add more floaters since i guess i have missed some of them, or just add the line(s)yourself to the script and upload the file again ;o)

Layers for gMax

18 votes

This is for gMax. It won't work right in 3ds, and 3ds already has layers capability.

This is a macroscript which opens a dialog window. Assign it a hotkey (I suggest Alt-L) and/or a menu item (I suggest Tools), toolbar button, or whatever you like. It lets you affect selection, transparency, visability, and freezing of groups of objects.

After applying the model tool "Mirror" normal to the model is turning inside out. This script fixes this by spelling the simplest way in automatic mode.
The script must be copied to a folder scripts/startup and restart 3ds max.
