Pivot tools for 3Ds MAX

This script contains a set of tools to manipulate pivot position.

Possible pivot positions :

• at the center of object bounding box
• at the center bottom of object bounding box
• at 0,0,0 ( center of the scene )
• at any position as pivot can be dragged freely without changing panel tabs
• at the position of another object

All those functions can be performed with multi selection.

No changes made to modifier stack.

rXf button - when active it will add XForm modifier at the top of modifiers stack for selected objects. However, free pivot positioning mode will not add such modifier.

At the right top corner of max viewport I have placed a small "status window".

It indicates the states of two modes this script can hold:

• reset XForm state
• Pivot mode state

This script can be used by using drag able window or by using macroscripts You can add at any place and use them in any way.

When script window is not in use, could be hard to determine which mode is currently in use and what state it represents.

Script was tested on 2012 and 2022 so should work on any version between those two.

To install it, unzip, drag and drop mzp file into viewport.

All files will be copied, button images registered and macros made ready to be placed and used. All without program restart.

When customizing macros please use this category:

In version 1.01 :

- fixed hard to find error during startup process

- fixed reset Xform state not reflected in script "status" window.
