I would like to share a short step-by-step instruction. In addition, the icon

Nice Script

Hello thank you for your very useful script ! Is it possible that 3PointRotation and 3PointScale can show snapping markers on 3ds max 2020. It doesn't seem to work with me on 3dsmax 2020

Thank you

Hi,
After you drag-n-drop mzp files you should be able to find new commands in Customize->Toolbars window. I think they are under Sergo Pogosyan category.

Sergo.

Hi. I'm getting a "MaxScript FileIn Exception" window after drag and drop in 3ds max window.
It says:
"-- Compile error: cant find include file: functions.ms
-- In line: include "functions.ms" "

When I go to customize UI, in Sergo Pogosyan category there's only TapeCoordSys, BuildingMaker, StripesTexture, TransformationJitter and WhiteVPBackground.
Does anyone know how to solve it?
I'm using 3DS Max 2017.
Thanks!

Self replying to my self in the previous comment.

I don't know if that's the way I was supposed to do it but, after drag and dropping the .mzp file I used "run script" from 3Ds Max on 3PointRotation and Scale, I evaluated both of them and then drag and dropped the text from the MaxScript editor. Both of them seem to be working.
I know nothing about coding, scripting or even installing scripts beyond what I've seen in video tutorials. I thought that drag and dropping the .mzp file was enough to be able to use the scripts. Was I wrong?

Very useful scripts! great job, but waht about the icons? i remember the oldest version have it...
Thanks!

Sorry guys I was lazy to maintain correct icons, add new ones and delete old ones, so I removed them all few years ago.

I had to set my read/write privileges on my Max install in both Program Files and AppData in order to make it work in 2018.

Thanks you, this script is very useful

thank you Sergo for this amazing script. I was wondering during working in autocad about the same function in 3d and then I found your script. I used it in 3ds max 2017 but not working in 2018 . you didn't updated it for 18? or I'm doing something wrong ..:( thank you again !

Hi, I've checked on my 2018 and it worked. I dragged the archive on the Max window, then found sergo poosyan category and tried some of the scripts. They all worked, rotation, coord sys etc.

Hi Sergo. Absolutely essential tools! Many thanks for this! Saved my day

super very useful

hi,

I tried a lot now, but i don't get it to work with max2016. When i drag the .run file on max, nothing happens. "Run Script" > SergoScripts.ms throws error

"Can't find include file: include "$temp/SergoSPack/TapeCoordSys.ms"

I can't run the "mzp.run" via "Run Script"

Copying The Sergoscripts.ms into max's MacroScripts folder and the other files in max's scripts folder didn't work, the don't show up in the customize menu...

i really want to use the 3point rotation :)

help?

Just drag and drop the archive to the max window. Then find Sergo Pogosyan category in toolbar tab of the Customize window.
You don't need to unpack the archive!

Ok that worked. Somehow i had a .zip file in my download directory...when i downloaded the file again and dragged the mzp file on max it worked.(after restarting max:D )

anyways thanks a lot, 3PointRotate is super useful!

Hi,

I've updated the installer so that it works with any version of 3ds max. Just drag-n-drop attached .mzp file onto the max window and look for "Sergo Pogosyan" catergory in Customize->Toolbars window.
I've also removed all the icons, so all the buttons come with text labels only.

No funciona para versión max 2017. y no existe la web.

not working for me in 2015...no sergio category listed.

rotation and scale scripts dont work when dragged into viewport, but other ones do.

I had the same problem in Max 2014. I solved it this way:
Put SergoScripts.mcr to 3ds Max 2014\MacroScripts folder
Put Icons (sergoIcons_16a.bmp and sergoIcons_16i.bmp) to C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 - 64bit\ENU\usericons
Put SergoScripts folder with scripts in it to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014\scripts

Now everything works fine!

I have a solution for the icons on 3ds Max 2013/14.
Copy and Rename the folder "Icons" to "IconsDark" and replace on "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2013\UI_ln"

hi.
I'm using 3dmax2010.
Can you assist me how to install it?
Because it keep pop up error and I couldn't use it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sergo,

Can you please help me, tried to install in 3dsmax 2014 64bits, but it's not working.
When copy past to max root it doesn't appear anything in the customize-toolbar option.
Working fine on 3dsmax 2012 !
Can seem to find the issue, do you have any pointers?
Thanks.

Hi,
Sergo scripts paths are diferrent in Max 2013 and 2014.
You can copy folders seperately.

This is the issue;

Script Folders ---> Max folders
==================================================================
Sergoscripts > Scripts ---> Max 2014 > Scripts
Sergoscripts > UI > Icons ---> Max 2014 > UI_ln > Icons
Sergoscripts > UI > Macroscripts ---> Max 2014 > Macroscripts

That's all.
Sorry for my bad english.
Hope that helps.

Actually, I have updated version of the script that works without any copying and stuff. But it does not have any icons (I hate to support icons along the script versions, sorry). Will update this page asap.

thanks

Hey Sergo, how´s going?
i use a lot the UseTapeCoordSys script, but i want to ask you if is possible to make it work with sub-objects. I mean, it does work, the thing is that, when you switch to sub-object mode, the current coord sys goes back to the last used, not using the tape. Can you adjust that??
thanks man,

Jsrocha

Hi!

To have coord sys stop switching when changing different modes turn on Constant Coordsys checkbox in preferences. Hope that helps.

Hi Sergo!
wow man, didn´t know that option in preferences, you made my day!!
Thanks a lot!

Jsrocha

Sergo, thank you for your scriptpack. Very nice.
Sergo, whether was would difficult, to you extend this a script and make rotate 90 degrees for sub-objects?

All things are in usual places - category, category name, etc.
And all scripts work as usual.

can't find your scripts in 3ds max design 2014... installed it but no "Sergo Pogosyan" category... please can you add support for 2014?

Just got my hands on 2014, will test asap.

Thanks! Especially liked the 90-degree rotation of the object or gizmo on the selected axis
Version 3dsmax: 2012

Though, I've installed it on 2013.

please update to 3ds max 2013... error when opening your scripts

edit: ignore my comments. user error.. :) its working flawlessly

Works great now in Maxs Design 2011!

Thanks for updating the move-with-keyboard script. I use it all the time. Just like photoshop nudge so very intuitive for me to use,

Thank you. So I'll add 2011 max to supported versions.

Hey thanks again.

Is there a way to make the 'move with keyboard' script work with the 'TapeCoordSys' script?

When I create a tape and select it as the reference cordinate system using the TapeCoordSys, any object moved using the keyboard shortcuts for the 'move with keyboard' script don't move along the axis of the newly created tape helper. Hope that makes sense.

I updated MoveWithKeyboard script to support Object coordinate system and some others too. Check it out http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/move-with-keyboard and let me know how it works. Also let me know the version of your 3ds max.

How do I install these scripts please?

Could you give me a step by step guide as to which files/folders go where when the download file is unzipped, as I keep getting maxs script errors no matter what I try. Using maxs design 2010.

Thanks

Normally you should unzip archive to 3ds max root folder and restart max.

If you unzipped archive in some other folder then put SergoScripts folder to the 3dsmaxroot/Scripts folder and Icons and Macroscripts folder to the 3dsmaxroot/UI folder.

Goodnight

Like in Autocad:
The first point was the axis rotation, second was origin point and the third destination point.
I realized some tests and you are right. Errors happen when the snap3D is activated; with snap2.5D the script work perfectly.
In these test my solution not work correctly. Nevermind my previous comment.

Thanks

Great pack!! I look for for this a long time.
I use max 2010 and the 3 point rotate not work correctly. I change the mode calculate of "theAngle" for solve this problem.

/* original mode
-- vectors
v1 = originalPoint - basePoint
v2 = referencePoint - basePoint
--angle from 'dot'-function
theAngle = acos(dot (normalize v1) (normalize v2))
*/

coefAB = (originalPoint[2] - basePoint[2])/(originalPoint[1] - basePoint[1])
coefAC = (referencePoint[2] - basePoint[2])/(referencePoint[1] - basePoint[1])
theAngle = atan coefAB - atan coefAC

thanks for the scripts.

Thank you japanji!

I think the error in rotation script happens not because of the wrong formula but because of 3d snapping - script grabs the points that don't lay on the construction plane. This is what happens in my case occasionally. Could you provide the steps to reproduce the error?

BTW, thank you for the formula, you've made me think how little I remember of the school math course.

I tested this pack under 3ds max 2010 and it works ok, except  WhiteVPBackground script. I should use SetUIColor function instead of setVPortBGColor.

yes, please !!! :-))

hey sergo thank you very much! it s save me time very much!!

are 3PointScale and 3PointRotation broken for 2010 ? :-((

Didn't test under 2010 yet, sorry. Will try very soon, next week probably.

the 3PointRotation script is very good!!!!and the scale too...

Rotation of UVW gizmo and Slice plane added to rotateXXX commands in 1.4.6 version.

To whose who uses 3PointRotation in 3ds max versions 9 - 2009:

In recent versions of 3ds max there is a bug in pickpoint maxscript function. So, to get correct results with 3dpointrotation script don't drag mouse while picking points. In other words when you pick the point in the viewport, mouse must not move between the moment you press left mouse button on the point and until you release the button. Otherwise picking becomes dragging and maxscript couldn't recognize point coordinates and script won't behave correctly.

Hope this helps you a little.
