Pivot & Align Tools

lbrooks — Sat, 03 Mar 2018 03:52:54 +0000

Pivot & Align Tools (PAT) are a set of macros bundled into a quad menu that allow you to perform various object alignment, pivot alignment and object snapping functions... among others. Most of the functions can operate on a selection of multiple objects at once, including grouped objects as part of the selection (open or closed).

NOTE: This script was written for 3dsmax prior to 2025 which introduced a new menu system. This will be rectified in future updates.
