Polyline Pro is an easy to use yet powerful and intuitive tool which provides a clear and efficient user interface to create splines precisely with measurements and angles in a manner similar to AutoCAD. The main purpose of Polyline Pro is to bring the spline drawing in 3dsMax at a higher level.

With Polyline Pro you can:

- draw splines in Orthographic, Polar, Arc and Freehand mode
- create points using Absolute or Relative coordinates
- use direct distance entry - point in desired direction and type the length and/or the angle to create a segment
- edit splines
- use guides and tooltips
- use short commands for quick access to almost all of the features
- use Object Snaps to mark certain points/lines and continue to draw in their projection or intersection
- draw spline using World Coordinate System or User Coordiante System
.
It is very important to read the manual before buying the Polyline Pro. There are some rules that must be followed, so please read the manual. Download the help file from here.

Thanks man, I'm ready to have my mind blown away like every time I bought one of your product for Max. Please keep them coming, I would have given up on Max a long time ago if it wasn't for your scripts.

Thank you for this piece of brilliant tool, It is very useful when you work precisely in 3DS Max.

Bert Van Eeckhout
Wow, really nice script to close the bridge between Autocad and 3Ds max.

davius
So, you essentially turned 3dsMax in Autocad (at least in a way). Very good job! :)

Chris MacDonald
Wow, this kind of stuff should have been implimented in max years ago. Good job!

Jędrzej Sobkiewicz
Thanks a lot, it works like charm! I should’ve bought this long long time ago, I can tell you by now it’s a real time saver!

Fabio M. Costa
Totally recommend this script.

George Nicola
