"View and Zoom Extents Selected" macro buttons

Submitted by altanozkan on Thu, 2012-11-22 20:33

Simple macro buttons to set active view and run "Zoom Extents Selected" command. (If no object selected, "Zoom Extents" instead.) So you don't lose track of objects while switching views.

Select Every N-th-no UI

Submitted by miauu on Fri, 2010-07-16 01:50

If you want to select every 2nd or 3rd or 4th, etc edges, just select the first edge, skip the desired number of edges and select the second edge, then execute the script.

If you want to see the time that script needs to make a selection, just start MAXScript Listener.

Instalation: Drag 'n drop two mzp files in 3ds max, then go to Customize - Customize User Interface. Under "miauu" category you can find "Gap Loop" and "Gap Ring" scripts.

On the video below the script works 3 times slower, because of Camtasia and my old, single core PC.

Cleaning PhysX Menu Duplicates

Submitted by AdverSoftware on Wed, 2011-02-23 04:01

If you customize your UI a bit and have installed the "3dsMax 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack" or the NVidia PhysX utility for 3dsMax, you should notice that it adds menus to the Customize Dialog every time you run 3dsMax. In a month or so, you will probably have to scroll over a thousand duplicates in the Customize Menus Dialog.

I had a quick look in the PhysX MaxScript files, but I don't want to mess with it. Instead, I made this simple script, that will remove all PhysX menus when 3dsMax shuts down. Don't worry, they'll be added again next time you start.

Toggle Time & Command -Panels

This script creates 2 Bars, one at the bottom, one at the right. Clicking a bar toggles the visibility of the UIPanels next to it in default config. Rightclick closes a bar.

UIMod

UImod is a new UI for modifiers that is displayed in overlay of your active viewport in 3ds Max.

You can make a button from the modifierstack of your selection. This will save all the modifiers on this object and all the values of the properties of the modifiers. You can see this in the video where I change some checkboxes and values of modifiers.

Right clicking on the button gives you the properties of the button. You can change the name and folor of the button. More options will be coming soon.

WkOldStyleLook

Submitted by werwack on Thu, 2010-09-16 04:50

Because I find the old icons set clearer and more visually efficient that the one currently provided with 3dsMax since release 2010, I wrote this little script to install it again properly.

Viewport Switcher

Submitted by Norman3D on Sun, 2010-03-28 17:52

Assign the macroscript to a hotkey. Space bar for example. A menu will appear around your cursor that allows you to quickly switch to different views.

For the installation simply drag and drop the mzp file to the viewport. Go to Customize/Customize User Interface/ Keyboard. And under the group Norman3D select Viewport Swtich and assign it to a hotkey.

EDIT: Fixed an issue in the script that would cause an error on 3dsMax 2010

ScreenEdge UI

Submitted by yamat on Wed, 2007-02-21 06:18

This script runs a script / changes a setting when you click on one of the edges of the UI (left, right, top) and even provides for alternates when pressing left/middle/right button and ctrol/shift/alt keyboard.

When you first run this script nothing is displayed on the screen. It doesn't have a UI per se, it just "works" after you run it.

XUI Floater

Submitted by joegunn on Thu, 2009-07-09 10:20

A compacted floater that is useful when working in Expert mode in 3dsmax. I created this to just speed up my workflow. Lots of simple UI buttons and categories. Also right-click options to run more commands. Watch the simple video to understand the use and workflow.
