miauu's Modifiers' Gizmo Aligner earns its place in the scriptspot library as a focused utility for aligning the Symmetry, Slice and Mirror modifier gizmos, with support spanning 3ds Max 2013 to 2026.
miauu's Modifiers' Gizmo Aligner is a script for 3ds Max that handles gizmo alignment for the Symmetry, Slice and Mirror modifiers. Its core method lets you align a modifier's gizmo by picking three points in the scene, setting the gizmo's orientation from those points.
Beyond the three-point method, the script adds dedicated options for two modifiers. For the Symmetry modifier, "Align to Working Pivot's Plane" aligns the symmetry plane to any of the XY, XZ or YZ planes of the working pivot. For the Slice modifier, "Align to active grid" aligns the slice plane to the currently active grid.
The script is a commercial release from miauu, listed as free in this catalog. It supports Autodesk 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design from 2013 through 2026, covering a wide span of releases. Version 1.2 was last updated on 2025-12-16, and a demo video is available.
miauu's Modifiers' Gizmo Aligner is best for 3ds Max artists who use the Symmetry, Slice and Mirror modifiers and want to align their gizmos by picking points, or by snapping to the working pivot or active grid.
miauu's Modifiers' Gizmo Aligner is completely free to download and use.
miauu's Modifiers' Gizmo Aligner lists compatibility with Autodesk 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design from version 2013 through 2026, so 3ds Max 2026 is covered. That range spans more than a decade of releases, which makes the script usable across both older and current installations. Version 1.2 is the current release, last updated on 2025-12-16. If you run a version outside the stated range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.
miauu's Modifiers' Gizmo Aligner aligns the gizmo of the Symmetry, Slice and Mirror modifiers by picking three points in the scene. That gives you a direct way to set the gizmo's orientation from points you pick directly in the scene. All three modifiers are handled by the same script, so the three-point method applies whether you are working with a Symmetry, Slice or Mirror modifier. Version 1.2 is the current release, last updated on 2025-12-16.
miauu's Modifiers' Gizmo Aligner adds an "Align to Working Pivot's Plane" option for the Symmetry modifier, which aligns the symmetry plane to any of the XY, XZ or YZ planes of the working pivot. For the Slice modifier, it adds an "Align to active grid" option that aligns the slice plane to the currently active grid. Both options sit alongside the three-point picking method that the script provides across the Symmetry, Slice and Mirror modifiers.
