everything is in the title, absolutly no help file, videos don't explain how to use the scripts, when I click on the orbot around pivot button nothing happen, USELESS FOR NOW ! REFUND !

Hi!

You are the first one that tells me that the videos not explains how the script works. You can contact me at miau_u@yahoo.com and I can explain you how each script works.

About the Orbit Viewport Around Picked Point: Orbit Viewport around picked point not works as a button in the toolbar. This is explained in the video. Assign a hotkey to the macro, hover the mouse cursor over a mesh object(lets call it objA) in the scene and press the hotkey. Then you will be able to rotate the viewport around the point that is located on the surface of objA and was below the mouse cursor when the hotkey was pressed. If you use the Orbit Viewport Around Picked Point with a button in any toolbar nothing will happens, because there is no mesh object below the cursor.

miauu's Script Pack vol.1 is updated to version 3.4

Changelog:
New Scripts:
- Align WP to OP - alligns the Working Pivot to the pivot of the selected object.
- Aliogn OP to WP - alligns the pivot of the selected object to the Working Pivot
- Turn Off WP - will turn off the Working Pivot. It is recomended o use it when the Working Pivot was activated by the Visual Pivot Placer.

- Visual Pivot Placer is updated.
-- added Align to Sub-Object. When 1, 2, 3 verts, edges, faces are selected the pivot of the object will be aligned as follows:

- 1 vert is selected - to the verts normal
- 2 verts are selected - the position of the pivot will match the middle point between selected verts. The X axis will match the direction betwen selected verts.
- Three verts are selected - the position of the pivot will match the middle point between selected verts. The X axis will match the direction betwen the most farthest verts.The Z axis will be perpendicular to the plane that the selected verts forms.

- 1 edge is selected - the position of the pivot will match the edge center. The Z axis will match the normal of the edge, X axis will match the direction of the edge.
- 2 edges are selected - the position of the pivot will match with the midpoint of the two centers of the edges. The Z axis will match the normal of the plane that selected edges forms. The X axis will match the vector of the longest edge.

- 1 polygons is selected - the position of the pivot will match with the centers of the selected polygon. The X axis match the vector of the longest edge. The Z axis will be perpendicular to the selected polygon
- 2 polygons are selected - the position of the pivot will be aligned to the center selected polygons.

Video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRg_MqeqR78

Changelog:
- Visual Pivot Placer is updated. Now it allows you to set the position and orientation of the pivot of one object to be the same as the position and orientation of the pivot of another object.

Chaangelog:
- fixed error in Live Measure v.2.
Thanks for Shawn Olson for reporting the error.

miauu's Script Pack works with 3dsMax 2015.

miauu's Script Pack ver. 2.2 is available.

Changelog:

- New script - Live Measure Angles - measure angle between three points.

- Visual Pivot Placer - new UI with regular buttons. When in sub-object level can set the pivot position of all instances of the selected object, relaitvely to the selected verts/edges/faces by Shift+LMB over to sub-object celter button. New ability to align the object pivot to sub-object selection local pivot.   Watch this video.

I know we now have a function to define a subobject's pivots as object pivot, but say you already have a self-defined working pivot (set by funkybunny's script, or your own working pivot script), it'd be great to be able to one-click copy it over to the object pivot - and the other way around. Ignore me if this is already possible and I haven't noticed. Keeping up with your many upgrades is a little hard for me at times! ;-)

If I understand you correctly you meant this:
1- your working pivot is set somewhere in the scene and it is active
2- you select an object
3- press a button and the working pivot moves to the position of the pivot of the selected object and the orientation of the working pivot match the orientation of the pivot of the obejct.
Is this correct?

Well, what I had in mind was something like this:

I work on an object and set my working pivot to a single face's orientation, for example. Later on I decide that's exactly where I'd like my object's pivot to be. So I click a single button and basically position and orientation of the working pivot are 'copied' to the object pivot. And for convenience's sake, doing it the other way around could come in handy as well.

I know it's probably not too hard to script - it just seemed more elegant to me to have this function integrated into VPP (I believe your "Align working pivot" would fit into VPP nicely as well).

And yes, it's possible to set a working pivot (some edge), work along, and then use the same edge with VPP to set the pivot. It's just more steps ;-)

Tomorrow I will send you a script to test it. If it works as you want it I will add it to the VPP. :)

miauu's Script Pack ver. 2.1 is available.

Changelog:

Corner Align support Presere UVs

Visual Pivot Placer:

- fixed groups behaviour. When the scipts shows the WORLD BBox, the cage for the whole group will be shown. When the script shows Local or Dimensional BBox, the cage for the single object will be shown.

- Shift + LMB will pick the spline, point, dummy under the mouse and will place the pivot of the picked object to the place of the pivot of the picked spline

Clone Between - can clone groups.

...

Great Scrip ,Miauu

miauu's Script Pack ver. 2.0 is available.

miauu's Corner Align allows you to create corners by connecting vertices or edges with few very easy steps. Idea by airbrush

Video demonstration.

Thank you. :)

Not that anyone into Max needs me to tell them this... but I think Kostadin needs to hear it more--really great stuff, friend! Keep it up! You are on my short list of up-and-coming stars!

miauu's Script Pack ver. 1.9 is available.

Changelog:

miauu's Scale Tool is updated to version 1.2 What is new:

Video Demonstration

Good idea.
Thank you.

miauu's Script Pack ver. 1.8 is available.

Changelog:

New Script: Hidden Polys Manager - extends the built-in hide/unhide polygons functionality of 3ds Max. It allows you to hide or unhide certain part of the object. Video demonstration.

Video demonstration

Great script,
I saw the video demonstration and i like idea for the script.
One suggestion: Perhaps it would be clearer if you create a dropdown list for the scene objects and when the user pick en
object from that list the "Hidden Polys" presets will be displayed in checked listbox.

must have pack.
outstanding support. :)

Thank you.

What is new in ver.1.7

Visual Pivot Placer - faster calculating of the local bounding box of the object.

Scale Tool - faster calculating of the dimension of the object.

In-volume Scatter -  fixed random move only on one axis.

Clone between - fixed: reset clones to zero when right click to reset number of copies.

Live Measure:
    -    measure distance between active camera and the selected object. Work only when the active viewport is set to a Camera view.
    -    faster calculating of the dimension and the local bounding box of the object.
    -    in top sub-object level:
        -    LMB - will show the real dimension of the object, drawing its local bounding box
        -    LMB+Shift - will show the dimension, defined by most top - most bottom, most left - most right, most front - most back verts of the selected object.Useful when the object is rotated at some sub-object level.
        -    LMB+Ctrl - will show the dimension of the world bounding box of the selected object.

Thank you, Jan!
I have to find time to write help file for all scripts in the package.
:)

This set of tools are absolutely fantastic. I am using them in Max 2013. Not sure why Max does not have these built in anyway. I was having trouble aligning all kinds of irregular objects and let me tell you, just the align tool will save many hours of work. How silly that the built in measure tool in max just measures the bounding box. I can actually get measurements on totally irregular objects and surfaces now. The isolate tool is totally sweet.

PLEASE NOTE: The author built a lot into these, and you HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE TO watch the videos. If you don't you will miss out on lots of tricks and as in my case (before I watched) believe that some scripts (like visual pivot place) don't work. No they work very well but if you don't know where to use right and left mouse buttons and such you will run into trouble. He is right. These are and should be commercial scripts and although I was hesitant at first, the money is well spent. One of the best script packs I have downloaded.

miauu's Script Pack ver. 1.6 is available.

Changelog:

Clone Between is updated to version 1.2. Now you can see the distance between the clones and the distance between the master nodes(total distance) - idea by Marcus Erich Waldmann. You can set the distance between the clones with accuracy. Distance works with objects, created with previous versions of "Clone between".

Watch video demonstration

thanks miauu for this update goes well

IMPORTANT - for Editable Mesh and Spline objects setting the edge length is undoable.

Watch the video demonstration.

miauu's Script Pack ver. 1.4 is available. Changelog: miauu's Scale Tool is updated to version 1.1 What is new: - can scale groups - can set the dimensions of the objects by entering numbers(units) instead of percentages.

Watch the video demonstration.

@algosuk, I sent you an e-mail.

Бранко, Хвала!

very kind and very quick!
thank you!

Hi, neighbor
Again, great job you have here.
Професионален неща ;)

hi i have a garbage error when i istall the program.

miauu's Script Pack ver. 1.3 is available.

Cangelog:

- Orbit viewport around picked point now works faster with Xref scenes.

NEW SCRIPT: miauu's Scale Tool is a tool that allows you to scale the desired object, to desired dimension with few easy steps. This tool is very useful when you import or merge objects, that's not match the scale in your scene. Supported objects are Editable Poly, Editable Mesh, and objects with Edit Poly modifier on the top of the modifier stack.

miauu's Script Pack v1.2 is available.

Changelog:

Clone between is updated to version 1.1 What is new:
The created arrays are parametric. At any time you can go back and made changes in your arrays

Orbit viewport around picked point is updated to version 1.1. What is new(ideas by Shawn Olson): You can use the "Alt", "Shift" and "Ctrl" keys to make your navigation more comfortable. Alt+click will execute the "zoom extents" to the object, in which is placed "the point of orbit". Shift+click will place "the point of orbit" and will execute the "zoom extents" to "the point of orbit". Ctrl+click will place "the point of orbit" and will execute the "zoom extents" to the object, in which is placed "the point of orbit". You can set "the point of orbit" in object, that is a part of XRef scene. Note that in the scenes with thousands of objects, there will be a delay between the time when you click an object and you can start orbiting.

Live Measure2 is really cool! I'm getting some errors trying to use some of the other scripts... I'll email some of them later on today or tomorrow.

Ok, send me an e-mail. :)

miauu's Script Pack is updated to version 1.1.

Changelog: - In-Volume Scatter is updated to version 1.1 -

NEW SCRIPT - Live Measure v2 - allows you to measure the length of edges, segments or splines, area of faces, dimension of objects, distance between objects and distance between points in real time.

I haven't even gotten a copy yet but made my order... and I have to go on record saying that Kostadin Kicks Ass! After his Working Plane... I am a total fan/customer. I really think he's got a great sense of innovation. I look forward to adding to my Miauu collection.

Thanks, Shawn. :)
