How compatibility works
Choose the 3ds Max version you use. For example, selecting 2020 puts direct matches for 2020 first, followed by listings that say a supported version or newer.
Scripts that only mention an older version can still appear as “2020 unconfirmed.” Listings that rule out 2020 are excluded. Use “Show scripts with unconfirmed compatibility” to also see listings without a clear match.
Community reports show what worked for members on a specific release. They’re separate from the listing’s compatibility claims and don’t change the filter.

That is awesome, thanks! Any chance for auto update?

Auto update for what?
brandon · 2016-06-30
Ah sorry, I meant to say have the count auto-update as you modify objects so the numbers displayed are always a current reflection of the triangle count.

Just press calculate again. Auto-update will slow-down everithing if picked layer contains too meny objects. That's why I don't integrated this option

Hmm, I see what you mean. Could it be added as a toggle? That way lighter layers can make use of auto update and for heavier layers the user could disable it? I only persist because when you're removing triangles to reach a budget, it can be quite easy to go too far under budget and waste time as well as have the model look worse than it would be if it were at count, otherwise you'd have to spend more time adding that detail back in.
Sorry to be a pain, I really do appreciate you making this :)
