Design Toolbox 3ds Max 2017 2018

Design Toolbox is a collection of tools designed to accelerate and simplify basic modeling tasks of architectural, urban or interior scenes tools: Standard transformations by reference, like the ones usually found in more precise work oriented applications; Fast measurements, speed up positioning of reference coordinates and workplanes. It also includes some other useful tools for quickly apply and manipulate uvw maps, for paneling simple surfaces; plus some others useful time saver tools.

refGuides includes a set of tools intended to improve and facilitate accurate modeling, particularly helpful for modeling architectural scenes. This tools allows to create construction lines guides, for accurately position and model objects. They can also be used as rulers, displaying measurement units in the viewport. Other great added feature is the ability to snap to intersection points.

Over 30+ unique tools to enhace your workflow

Lock flags

Easy lock/unlock object transformation's.

Object Array

Eyedropper

---

Interactive array

Quickly create a 2.5D Array of objects, picking points in the viewport.

Pattern array

Replicator

Replace any object with another. Replicate multiple instances, keep or not material and transformations.

Eyedropper

Copy almost any property from one object to another. I.E: Match the radius of a circle with the length of a rectangle, render properties, layer or anything else.

Eyedropper modes

---

Visual appeareance

Match object's visual properties.

Material

Pick copy and apply materials with two clicks.

Modifiers

Pick and replicate modifiers in the viewport.

Transformation

Match objects rotation, scale, position...

UVW map

Pick and drop UVW mapping from one object to another, no command panel actions involved.

Miscellaneous tools

---

Paneling tool

Add Simple panels to surfaces. Ideal for modelling furniture cabinets or tiled finishes.

UVW mapping tools
