Earns its place in the scriptspot library for the depth of properties the replacement object can inherit, from wire color to animation and transform controllers.
miauu's Objects Replacer is a commercial script for 3ds Max that swaps objects or groups for other objects or groups, cloned as a copy, instance or reference. When it performs a replacement, the new object can inherit a range of properties from the object it replaces, including transformation, material, position, rotation, scale, dimensions, name, layer, parent, children and wire color.
Animation can also carry over, covering position, rotation, scale and visibility, along with the option to copy or instance the transform controllers of the original object's child objects. When replacing groups, you can treat a group as a single object, replace all objects in the group, or replace arbitrary members of an open group while keeping the hierarchy so new objects sit in the same groups and nested groups.
If the object being cloned has children, you can choose whether to clone them, with the hierarchy preserved. When the objects you replace have instances in the scene, you can choose whether to replace all of those instances with the new object.
miauu's Objects Replacer is best for 3ds Max artists who need to swap objects or groups in a scene while carrying over transforms, materials, animation and hierarchy.
miauu's Objects Replacer is completely free to download and use.
miauu's Objects Replacer lists compatibility with 3ds Max from 2009 through 2025. The developer's requirements name Autodesk 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design across versions 2013 through 2025. If you work across several releases, this broad range covers most modern and older installations. For the exact version support tied to the current build, check the developer's page before purchasing to confirm your specific 3ds Max release is covered.
miauu's Objects Replacer can transfer animation from the replaced object to the new one, covering position, rotation, scale and visibility. It can also copy or instance the transform controllers of the original object's child objects. This lets a replacement pick up the animated behaviour of the object it stands in for, alongside other inherited properties such as transformation, material, name, layer and hierarchy, rather than requiring you to reapply that animation manually after swapping.
miauu's Objects Replacer gives several choices when replacing groups. You can treat a group as a single object, replace all objects within the group, or replace arbitrary members of an open group while keeping the hierarchy, so new objects end up in the same groups and nested groups as those they replace. When a cloned object has children, you can choose whether to clone them, and the hierarchy is preserved in that case as well.
miauu's Objects Replacer is described by the developer as a commercial script, and it is listed as free in this catalog. Because licensing terms can change, check the developer's page for the current details and to confirm how the script is offered. That page also carries additional information about the tool along with a demo video, which is available for those who want to see more before deciding.

Smart Measure is a script for 3ds Max built to replace the default Measure Tools, covering distance, angle, total length, area, and object dimensions in the coordinate system through several dedicated measurement modes.
