Title: reset x-form on selected
Post by: Blazar on March 31, 2013, 08:45:57 am

When exactly in the last steps in 3 ds Max should you use the script reset xform on selected.

Normally:
After linking everything in the hierarchy > unlink everything > reset x-form > then I have to manually collapse every single entitie (lot of repetitive work).
Then link everything in the hierarchy again (double work).

First:
But with the reset x form on selected script.
When in these steps do I need to run the script?

After linking everything in the hierarchy and before the reset x?
So that I do not have to unlink everything before the reset?

Second point:
Do I have to collapse every entitie again?
Or is there a separate script for this action
 :confused:

You can run the script as the last thing before exporting. I wrote it specifically for being able to reset everything without needing to unlink. You don't need to collapse after running it, either.

Wow, that's really great stuff.
So It actually does two things:
1. No need to unlink and re-link.
2. No need to collapse

That is an amazing gain in time!
Thanks :nod:

Yup, major time saver.

Oh did you fix it to first collapse the object before resetting?
