SplineDynamics has released 3D Measure Master, a new measurement plugin for 3ds Max. The plugin introduces CAD-level accuracy and visualization features designed for architectural visualization, technical modeling, and product design.
3D Measure Master provides tools for measuring distances, angles, radii, diameters, and bounding boxes directly within 3ds Max. All measurements are represented using native 3D splines and TextPlus objects, allowing them to remain editable, renderable, and fully integrated into the scene. The system operates in real 3D space rather than as temporary screen overlays.
The plugin includes five measurement tools and supports snapping to vertices, edges, and faces. Users can adjust color, spline thickness, text size, and alignment, as well as choose from several end marker styles such as arrows, spheres, or cubes. Measurements can be displayed in various units, including meters, centimeters, millimeters, and feet, with configurable decimal precision.
A centralized interface lists all scene measurements for easy editing and organization. The data can also be exported to CSV format for documentation or review in spreadsheet applications. The plugin is lightweight, requires no external dependencies, and works with any renderer.
