99 Dimensions stands out in the ScriptSpot library for keeping dimensioning native to 3ds Max, with three-click placement, viewport snapping, and undo integration handled through a dockable Qt toolbar.
99 Dimensions is a measurement and annotation suite for 3ds Max, built for architects, designers, and 3D artists. It adds architectural dimensions directly in the viewport with live updates and native-feeling integration. Two drawing modes cover different tasks: Plan Mode uses a Z-offset for floor plans and horizontal distances with an interactive vertical offset, while Elevation Mode uses a side-offset with perpendicular control for wall details and vertical surfaces. Placement follows a three-click workflow for start, end, and offset positioning, with full 3ds Max snapping across all three phases.
An Instant Auto-Measure option generates dimensions for the bounding boxes of one or more selected objects in a single click, with a toggle between measuring each object individually or the overall selection. Styling covers Solid, Outline, and 2D Flat text, customizable line thickness and color, and text that auto-scales based on distance. Live unit conversion switches between scene units, mm, cm, m, in, or ft. Layer routing sends dimensions to a chosen layer, and the tool integrates with the 3ds Max undo system through a dockable Qt toolbar.
Version 1.1.0 supports 3ds Max 2024 through 2026 and later. 99 Dimensions ships as part of the 99 Tools Suite from 99 Studios.
99 Dimensions by Sherif Hany is best for architects, designers, and 3D artists adding architectural dimensions and annotations inside the 3ds Max viewport.
99 Dimensions by Sherif Hany is completely free to download and use.
99 Dimensions lists compatibility with 3ds Max 2024 through 2026 and later, per the version 1.1.0 release. It integrates through a native Qt toolbar that docks into the 3ds Max top toolbar area, and it hooks into the 3ds Max undo system so dimension placement operations record as clean undo steps. If you run a version within that supported range, the measurement and annotation tools work directly inside the viewport. For the current compatibility list, check the developer's page at 99 Studios.
99 Dimensions installs from a single .mzp file. Drag and drop the 99_Dimensions_v1.1.mzp file directly into any 3ds Max viewport, and a new "99 Tools" toolbar appears at the top. Click the "99 Dimensions" button to launch the tool. If the toolbar doesn't show up, you can find it under the "99 Tools" category in the Customize User Interface menu. The toolbar is dockable, so you can position it wherever it fits your layout.
99 Dimensions offers two precision drawing modes. Plan Mode uses a Z-offset to measure floor plans and horizontal distances with an interactive vertical offset, while Elevation Mode uses a side-offset with perpendicular control for wall details and vertical surfaces. Both rely on a three-click workflow for start, end, and offset positioning, with full 3ds Max snapping across all three phases. There's also an Instant Auto-Measure option that generates bounding-box dimensions for one or several selected objects, with a toggle between individual objects and the overall selection bounds.
99 Dimensions is listed as free in this catalog. It's described as part of the 99 Tools Suite, a collection of utilities focused on architectural visualization workflow from 99 Studios. Licensing terms can change, so for the current details it's best to check the developer's page at 99 Studios directly. Support for the tool is handled through Discord, according to the release notes for version 1.1.0.
