Llama Tools

Im very grateful, for your Feedback, and i must give you sorry for i dont answer you.

:S

Today I will attach a new version with fixes, improvements and new tools.

I hope you like it guys!

This is a great script, it can be used on many objects. For example, objects that are in a group.

Thanks to the author. :)

After reading Luos_83 comment I thought I will make the menu smaller, also the functions vmesh and export to model cause errors in 3D Max 2016 so took them and preview animate away as the other options are to me the only decent ones. Hope you don't mind :)

It now is this:-

Hello Brains,

Thanks for the tweaked script! mucho grande appreciated!

Been using this since its release and I find it really handy!
I personally use the Reset object, center pivot and copy/paste feats a lot!

My only pet peeve is that the menu is really big!
Any chance you could make one with buttons/menu half the size?

thank you :)
