rBDims v 0.0.8 for 3dsMax
https://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/rbdims
- rBDims is a lightweight yet powerful measurement and dimensioning script for Autodesk 3ds Max, designed to bring precision, clarity, and control to your modeling workflow. Developed with efficiency in mind, it offers a clean, compact interface that simplifies one of the most essential aspects of 3D design — accurately measuring, comparing, and visualizing dimensions inside your scene. Whether you are working on architectural models, product visualizations, or technical assets, rBDims helps you ensure every detail is built to perfection.
- At its core, rBDims features four intuitive measurement modes, accessible via a right-click on the “Measure” button. The Measure mode quickly calculates the dimensions of selected objects, making it ideal for checking width, height, and depth on the fly. The Distance mode allows users to pick two points within the viewport and instantly measure the distance between them — perfect for verifying spatial relationships or aligning components. For those requiring a more visual approach, the Dimension mode generates AutoCAD-style dimension lines directly in the viewport. These dimension annotations make it easy to document or present measurements without leaving 3ds Max. Finally, the VP Statistic mode displays essential scene data, such as object count, face and vertex totals, material names, and pivot coordinates, giving users a comprehensive snapshot of their current selection.
- rBDims goes beyond basic measurement. It’s optimized for workflow flexibility and integrates seamlessly with 3ds Max 2013 and newer versions. The script includes smart options like angular dimensioning, automatic dimension placement, Z-level coordinate display, and customizable precision settings. Users can also toggle “Display Unit Scale” support to match their preferred measurement system, ensuring consistent results across projects.
- One of rBDims’ standout qualities is its reliability. It minimizes viewport clutter while maintaining accuracy, making it a must-have utility for artists, engineers, and technical designers alike. However, users should note that the dimensioning feature works best in orthographic or non-camera viewports, as perspective views can cause orientation shifts.
- Constantly refined through user feedback, rBDims continues to evolve with bug fixes, added features, and interface improvements. Supporters also gain access to exclusive updates and early feature releases.
