A niche but practical entry in the ScriptSpot library for anyone turning 3ds Max furniture models into production cutting lists. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
FurniList LITE v.2 is a utility for 3ds Max aimed at furniture designers and 3D artists who need to pull manufacturing dimensions out of a scene and into Excel. Rather than reading dimensions from a world-axis bounding box, it uses a vertex tensor algorithm that analyses mesh topology to find the real length, width, and thickness of a panel, even when it belongs to a complex, rotated assembly.
The script lists every object individually, or with "Summation of Identical" enabled it groups same-sized parts into a QTY column so you receive a clean cutting list instead of a long item list. Output is formatted for Excel with QTY, L, W, and T headers, and a pop-up notification confirms clipboard status. A "Remove decimals" option rounds values to integers for manufacturing.
It is intended for furniture makers and small businesses cutting materials such as natural wood, laminated wood, MDF, or plexiglass without CNC machines. Parts must be modeled or imported as individual, non-unified entities, and objects at various angles need alignment to the world coordinate axes for correct results.
FurniList 2 free is best for furniture designers and small workshops cutting wood, MDF, or plexiglass panels who need accurate cutting lists exported from 3ds Max to Excel.
FurniList 2 free is completely free to download and use.
FurniList 2 free is distributed as an .mcr macroscript file (there is also an .ms version). To add it to your interface, place the .mcr file and open Customize → Customize User Interface, then find it under Category: FurniTools. From there you can assign it to a toolbar, menu, or shortcut. The developer notes there is no complex installation involved — once loaded, you select your geometry objects and click "GENERATE LIST" to produce the dimension list.
FurniList 2 free interprets the gizmo geometry values of each selected object, so parts oriented at various angles must be aligned to the world coordinate axes for correct output. Objects should also be modeled or imported as individual entities rather than unified. In addition, furniture cabinets should be rotated to face the frontal view so component board names are generated correctly. The technician remains responsible for checking the geometry in the scene and verifying the correctness of the generated size lists.
FurniList 2 free uses vertex tensor logic based on local coordinates rather than a bounding box based on world axes. A standard world-axis bounding box can report incorrect dimensions when an object is rotated, whereas FurniList analyses the mesh topology to find the real length, width, and thickness of a panel, even within a complex rotated assembly. This is intended to report true manufacturing dimensions regardless of how the object sits in the scene.
FurniList 2 free is listed here as free, and this is the Lite Free edition. For current licensing terms and the download, refer to the developer's page. The script handles panel dimension export inside 3ds Max, writing a list to the clipboard that you can paste directly into Excel or cutting software. For the exact conditions of use and any newer versions, check the developer's listing before relying on it in production.

V-RayMax Converter PRO is a 3ds Max script that converts materials, maps, lights, cameras, proxies and render elements from various render engines to V-Ray, and from V-Ray to Corona Renderer. It also outputs Standard, Physical, PBR/OpenPBR and glTF materials.

Dark Listener enables dark mode for the 3ds Max listener, switching it on automatically at startup. The darker background is easier on the eyes and reduces eye strain during late-night work, with no manual setup after install.
