3ds Max MAXScript for Edge Visibility

Posted by Jamie Gwilliam on Thursday 31st July 2008 at 3:04pm  | Comments (0)

Attached is a nifty MAXScript that should be useful for you all when using exported CAD data within 3ds Max.

The attached script will ‘turn off’ the internal face edges of imported geometry. This script will make the selected edges invisible. These can be manually brought back if required.

Also, as a reminder, the below ‘Hidden Line’ viewport style will automatically backface cull objects, and as a result give you much greater viewport performance on larger scenes.

**However, please note this script is unofficial and unsupported.**

Script Usage Instructions

1.    Initial Import showing edges

2.    Select objects required and then drag the .ms file into the viewport or from the MAXScript pulldown menu select ‘Run Script’ and choose the attached file.

3.    Image showing end result

All the best and happy Max’ing,

Jamie.
