Earns its place in the scriptspot library for extending a routine 3ds Max dialog with layer, spacing, and naming controls tied to Shift+Drag cloning.
miauu's Extended Clone Tool adds new options to the standard Clone Options dialog in 3ds Max. The tool is built around saving time during cloning, and its options extend what the native dialog offers.
When you create clones, you can move the new objects to a new layer or into an existing one, and select all new objects automatically once they are created. You can place all clones at even intervals between the original object and the first clone you create, and set either the total or incremental distance between created objects. Cloned objects can also take the same names as the objects they originated from.
These features work properly only when objects are copied with Shift+Drag. The script is compatible with 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design 2014 through 2026. This is a commercial script from miauu; more information is available on the developer's page.
miauu's Extended Clone Tool is best for 3ds Max artists who clone objects with Shift+Drag and want extra layer, naming, and spacing options beyond the standard Clone Options dialog.
miauu's Extended Clone Tool is completely free to download and use.
miauu's Extended Clone Tool is compatible with Autodesk 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design from 2014 through 2026, covering more than a decade of releases including 2024, 2025, and 2026. If you work across several versions of 3ds Max, this range means the same clone options are available regardless of which supported release you open. The current version is 1.5.06, last updated on 23 March 2026. For details on the exact builds it targets, check the developer's page.
miauu's Extended Clone Tool works properly only when objects are copied with Shift+Drag. Its added options extend the standard Clone Options dialog that appears during this action, so the layer placement, automatic selection, spacing, and naming features are tied to that workflow. If you clone objects a different way, the extended options are not guaranteed to behave as intended. Keeping to Shift+Drag is the way to get the full set of features the tool adds.
miauu's Extended Clone Tool lets you control how far apart cloned objects are placed. You can set either the total or the incremental distance between created objects, and you can place all clones at even intervals between the original object and the first clone you create. These spacing options sit alongside the tool's layer and naming controls in the extended Clone Options dialog. All of them apply to objects cloned with Shift+Drag.
miauu's Extended Clone Tool is listed as free in this catalog, though the developer describes it as a commercial script. Because licensing terms can change over time, the developer's page is the place to confirm current pricing and how to obtain the tool. You can find it on miauu's site alongside other scripts, tools, and plugins for 3ds Max. Check there for the most up-to-date licensing information before you download.
