This may not be an issue for small scenes, but it becomes increasingly cumbersome since the viewport’s frame rate may dip as the scene grows. Max’s native isolation method only allows you to go forward, so if you reach a point where you need to add geometry back into an isolation, you must unisolate the entire scene, make the same selection that you first had and then isolate again. This script allows you to make levels of isolations and quickly move back and forth between the levels as needed. Picking just five is tough, but if I must choose, these are the ones I rely on the most: This will bring up a window that will allow you to assign the script that you just ran to a desired operation (hotkey, quad or toolbar). Simply go to Customize>Custom User Interface. Once opened for the first time, however, you can map it to a hotkey, quad menu, or toolbar for faster opening in the future. The first time you use a script that has a macro, you must open it the same way as a non-macro. This is what the extensions should look like, minus the color: Both can be run in the same way as regular ms and mcr script files. An mzp can contain script source, bitmaps, icons, and so on. An mzp is for collecting the related files that make up a scripted tool into a single file that you run instead of multiple. An mse file is encrypted, so if you wanted to write a script and sell it, you could without fear that someone will edit or steal your proprietary code.

You may also see the “*.mse” and “*.mzp” extensions, which mean maxscript encrypted file and maxscript zip package file respectively.

Non-macro scripts have the extension “*.ms”. A macro script will generally have the extension “*.mcr”. You can determine if a script is a macro just by looking at the saved file before you open it. If using a non-macro script, it must be loaded with the Scripting>Run>Open Script method from above. This means that you don’t have to load the script directly every time you want to use it. If a script has a macro, it can be assigned to the toolbar or a hotkey, or to the quad menus within Max. Pop-ups can be in the form of “non-macro” or “macro,” which refers to the way in which you call up the script.
