#toolsPreFixer script for 3DS MAX (v1.1)I got tired of manually renaming tons of objects in 3ds Max. So I threw together a script that does it fast:- Adds prefixes like `EXT_`, `INT_`, `LF_`, `RF_`, `LR_`, `RR_` β separate controls for each group, and you can choose where to put them: at the beginning, at the end, or replace an existing prefix.- If you've copied objects and ended up with duplicate names β hit "Make Unique" and it will number the duplicates (with or without underscore, numbers like 001 or just 1, before or after the name).- You can also remove the numbering that Max adds ("Clear Numbers").- There's a "Selected Objects" panel: it shows all selected objects, you can copy a name into the Find/Replace fields, do a batch replace, remove the found text, or keep only that text.Instead of manually renaming a hundred meshes one by one, I just select them and click a button. Saves a ton of time.
Installation & toolbar button setup:-1: Save the script as PreFixer.mcr in: C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Documents\3dsMax\usermacros\ -2: Restart 3ds Max (or run the script via Scripting > Run Script to register it). -3: Open Customize > Customize User Interface β go to the Toolbars tab. -4: Find the category PreFixer and drag the PreFixer item onto any toolbar. -5: (Optional) Rightβclick the new button to change its icon or tooltip.
