numbers near the cursor

ElvisSuperStar007 · 2025-06-02

Better tell me how to turn off this stupid numbering near the cursor, it only gets in the way, especially when it doesn't work in sync with the cursor movement, the number constantly writes and jumps around the screen... it's really annoying, this setting isn't even in settings

miauu · 2025-06-02

You have to turn off the option which shows this info. The same option also shows the selected objects geometry data at the center top of your viewport. I don't have this tool to check which this option is located, so try to find it in the Settings of the tool.

Check this: Viewport Stats, Show Tris Count, etc. - https://remusjuncu.com/rappatools/features.html#tools

Hi ttus here is my fix

caogaiyu · 2019-02-21

1. Create "RappaTools3Closing.ms" in 3ds max startup folder (C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\{3dsmax version}\ENU\scripts\startup)
2. put this line in the ms file 
    try DestroyDialog ::RappaTools3UI Catch()
3. Save

In next launch, you will not see the UI.

Errors when starting up

minimus · 2013-10-21

Hi Remus.
I dont know what this comes from but suddenly one day i started getting errors when starting up 3ds max, and the error points in the rappatool direction.

i have tried uninstall and reinstall also tried downloading from the webpage incase there was annyupdates.

Error

Hi minimus,

Just saw your post, you should have emailed me... Update the installer with the bug patched until i release 3.2 hopefully this month if not then next month...

Great tools

luxxeon · 2013-05-27

I broke down and finally got this script. Very impressed with the tools here, especially the bridging and extra tools (chunks/grow structure/snow). Wasn't expecting those, and they work very well for quickly setting up some cool abstract stuff. This was well worth it.

Всё это здорово конечно, но... All that's great, but ...

Nik · 2013-04-03

Но потом понимашеь, что визуальный интерфейс здорово тормозит рабочий процесс, это слишком бестолково. Ведь надо постоянно мышей дотягиваться до нужной кнопочки. А если надо много, много раз это делать. Короче если бы Rappa Tools был бы таким же набором скриптов как SoulBurn Scripts collection, которые можно было бы на горячие клавиши кинуть это было бы Useful. Да и дорого заломили цену 39€ - охуеть надо!

But then ponimashe that cool visual interface slows workflow, it's too stupid. One has to constantly reach for the right mouse buttons. And if you have many, many times to do it. In short if Rappa Tools would be the same set of scripts as SoulBurn Scripts collection, which could be on the hot key to throw it would be Useful. And expensive bent price 39 € - need be stunned!

RappyBMX · 2013-04-03

For a fast workflow you can assign them to a hotkey, there are over 300 macroscripts that can be assigned...you also have the hotbox and 2 interfaces that are completely customisable... The interfaces are for easy access, and getting used to... you can just use the hotkeys no need for the interface. The price is really low for the amount of features, would you like me to break it up in parts and overall be more expensive !?

knoxville · 2013-04-03

надо было так и писать, что OHUET NADO !!!! согласен.

MAX 2014

bronius · 2013-04-02

Don't work in 3dsMAX 2014?

RappyBMX · 2013-04-02

Download the new version.

Bridge tool

3dbybrunolopes · 2013-01-23

Hi Remus

I've found that the bridge tool is very slow, it's possible to fix this?

Thanks

RappyBMX · 2013-03-04

Hi Bruno,

Yes, working on it right now :)

Best,
Remus

RappyBMX · 2013-03-18

Emailed you the beta version... should be available via auto update at the end of the week though :)

Increased the bridge tool speed by ~95% :D

best,
remus

mewbrrj · 2012-11-06

remus,

thank you for confirming compatibility.

you just got yourself a new customer...

regards

mewbrrj · 2012-11-04

hey remus,

is rappatools 100% compatible with 3dsmax2013?

i asking this, because a colleague of mine mentioned that he tried version 1358 on 3dsmax2013 but got issues of rappatools controls getting stuck sometimes and the worst of them would be the native undo funcion that stopped working at all after the first 3dsmax restart (by uninstalling it, undo worked just fine again).

besides, i read a little through the past comments and could not be certain about the newer version compatibility.

about updates, i personally hate automatic updates, do you provide manual updates as well?

thx in adv. for your answer.

RappyBMX · 2012-11-05

Hi mewbrrj,

I'm using rappatools3 in 3ds max 2013 without any problems. Also there are over 30 people that use the latest build with max2013 without any issue what so ever.

There was someone that had some issues with max2013 but after deleting 3dsmax.ini everything worked as it should. In case there are any issues just email me and i'll check them out :)

Yes manual updates are available on the website.

Best,
remus

JokerMartini · 2012-05-22

Just pure madness the amount of tools in this. Great work and I appreciate the upkeep and documentation examples for your tool. It's not an easy task and it is also very time consuming.
Thanks Remus. Always been a fan of this tool.

RappyBMX · 2012-06-07

And more features will be added in the near future... thank you for the support.

Hi Gilberto,

You should have received an email with your account information for ScriptMS.

Check your paypal email address. If not email me and I'll send the account for ScriptsMS again.

berdinatilli · 2012-04-03

hi RappyBMX,

i was hopping in the past to get a trial of your version 3 (version 2 kind of never convinced me to try).
about purchasing it, at the time i was finally considering it, the development of your script seemed to be dead (i would hate to get used to a tool that would become sooner or later incompatible...)
anyway, for right now, im not sure about it either, i explain:

im a user of outliner and the creator of it is now working on a version 3 that is going to work only in max2013 due to some changes in the sdk and also something in the maxscript coding or so, he also mentioned that those changes would affect the existing version 2, it would not work properly in max2013.

so, with that information, i was wondering if those changes in max2013 would affect your newest version 1406 also, if yes, what are your plans...?

thx in adv.

RappyBMX · 2012-04-03

Hi Marco,

Not sure what are the big changes in max2013 yet, but that won't affect the development, also there will always be support for older and newer versions of max starting with max 9...

+I will always work on rappatools since i use it every time in max.

best,
remus juncu

Update?

jonnyallenlwt · 2012-03-29

Hi! I bought rappatools awhile ago. I see you updated it on your site, and I see you say it auto updates, but mine is not. Is there a reason for that?

Thank you!

RappyBMX · 2012-04-01

try now it should work... also check your email for scriptsms credentials...

HomeCG · 2011-08-28

thanks.
