3DS max easy windows plug-in

Hi, great script, but I always work in meters, not centimeters. I can not enter a number like 0,14 meter or something. Is there a way to change that?
Also it would be great if the rotating parts could have it's own ID. Looking forward!

Great script! I hope this continue!

It works perfectly fine now ,
Thank you for the great work !

I fixed the bug with the windows heights. It should work right now. Cheers

OK it's all fixed...there were several lines of code missing (my copying error)..

It works perfectly

Thanks

as for the comment on creating windows out of borders... i see no good point in doing that, for instance to have a border you have to have an open gap, so you would have to delete some polys in the window opening to create a border. Then the script should cap this hole and everything. By placing a box just to fit the opening for window is i guess the easiest way to create an idea of a window. box divisions symbilize the frames and that is what i was about in the first idea. It is my first plugin and i am yet not good enought to make it perfect, so i will have to stay with this idea of creation as i did in the script, and only improove it to make a stable "easy windows and doors" plugin whithout extra superb tools. I guess with this plugin you just save a lot of time fitting each window to its opening size, and that is the main idea of this project. Thanks and sorry...

I wrote the plugin in 2012 3ds max and i have not tried it on other versions, i just do not have other versions to check if anything works. sorry for that. I just hoped that it will run on any newer version. i may try to get a 2014 max to find if anything is missing in the script.

as for the id materials. it is surely possible to add this option as a checkbox. i just did't think of placing different materials on each side od a glass. if it is necessary i will add this option in the next update.

as for the height of the windows. I also had (it was at first somehow randomly appeared different heights, but later on i found it in just few possibilities of divisions) this matter. if you could tell me what exactly the window divisions were and which dirrection the window was heading( i mean wheather it was faced in x or z direction), that would help me to locate the moment where i should check the vertexes. I guess what you wrote here, that when the sills are 3cm, the window has a hole beneath? there is a gap of 3cm under? please tell me what exactly happens and on what divisions vert and hor is it happening.

For the rest of comments, I kindly thaks for good oppinions and will try to implement some new tools to this. I already have them in my mind and i will be working on it qiute soon. Thank You guys.

The reason why I would like to have the possibility to assign 2 different IDs on the glass panes is because, this way, I can easily create double glazing panes with a different bump value on each one (to have realistic reflections).

About the bug: yes I sometimes have a 3cm gap beneath the window. And it seems to happen only on 2 panes windows. 1 and 3 panes ones are OK as you can see here:

Just does not start -> syntax end line error

I put the missing brackets at the end, and MaxScript Listener showed me that its in the Loom rollout section..but it's not there

Sorry I can not help you.
You may completely uninstall the script, then install it again properly.

Thanks for the script, but when I run it on max 2014 it's just showing me errors..

Any idea..

I run it on 3dsmax 2015 without any problem.
What are the errors exactly ?

Such a useful script posted here thanks for sharing this. Keep posting.

Hi,

Thank you for this great script :)

However I found a bug: sometimes (quite randomly it seems) the resulting window height is not the same as the input box. I mean, let's say I select a box which is 100 cm width x 200 cm height. Then I run the script, and the resulting window is 100 cm width x 197 cm height (given I choose 3 cm for the windowsill height).

And, as an improvement, it would be great if you could set 2 different IDs for the glass: one for the inner face and another for the outer one so that each glass pane can receive a different material.

Thank you again !

Plug really useful! Thanks for sharing :)

I think ,if you make it use poly object instead of box it will be more handy ,like using borders as symbol .

Thank you

Thank you for this script , its very usefull , keep it up .

Thanks for give us a good script. It will save our time

I am still working on it an will add some more possibilities, maybe to be able to choose or ever draw your own window frame profile, who knows:). Nice to hear it will be useful for somebody.
