Setting custom default parameters in Max 2021.1

One of the less well-publicised features of Max 2021.1 was a new ability to set default parameter values for nearly any aspect of 3DS Max. To set these parameters you need to use Maxscript, but fortunately, Changsoo Eun has already created a tool that list all the available classes and their parameters and allows you to set them without having to touch a line of code. Find out more and download the script on Changsoo Eun’s website.

Hey, that`s great. Finally!
Thanks for this great contribution, both Changsoo Eun and the dev-team.

It may seem like a small thing but I don’t know how many times I have to change the default settings on a tool every single time I use it, this will save me a lot of time.

No time to test so forgive me for asking: how does this interfere with MAXScript?
E.g. when height segs for a box are set to 100 in the video, what happens if you execute ‘box()’ into the MAXScript listener? Will the box also have 100 height segments?

If you set box() will create the default box, in this case if you changed will be to whatever you defined.

So the new defaults will potentially affect all standard objects created by MAXScript?! That is pretty bad. It might break a lot of code.
