Description

 

miauu's Extended Clone Tool adds new options to the standard Clone Options dialog.

The main goal - save time using these features:

- move the created objects to a new layer,

- move the created objects into existing layer

- select all new objects after their are created.

- place all clones at even intervals in between the original object and the first clone that you create

- set the total or incremental distance between created objects

- set the names of the newly created objects to be the same as the names of the objects they originated from. Works properly only when objects are copied with Shift+Drag.

 

This is a commersial script. You can find more information here.

one thing i came across when using the script is a button for interactive mode so we can see the changes before closing the window, that gonna be a good thing to add.
I attached examble image for that.

Yes, this will be usefull but the problem is that 3ds max creates clones after the OK button is pressed. So I have to find a workaraound(if it is possible). :)

Thanks

obaida · 2018-11-11

One issue for total and incremental , the distance should be taken automatically (not 0.0) from the distance between the original and the new moved object.

Thanks

obaida · 2018-10-15

good script but the missing feature is ,if i want to make the new copies in between the original and the new moved object (like the difference between Total and Incremental in Max Array Tool).

.

miauu · 2018-10-15

This will be added in the next versions:
- shift+drag object, set the number of copies, all copies will be placed at even intervals between the original and the new moved object
- shift+drat object, set the number of copies, set the distance between the original and the new moved object and all the copies will be placed at even intervals between the original and the new moved object.
