A clear pick in the ScriptSpot library for anyone reorganizing the 3ds Max interface, thanks to its two-way conversion between toolbars and tabs.
miauu's Tab Panel is a 3ds Max tool for arranging toolbars into a tabbed layout. It can convert existing toolbars into tabs, and it lets you create new tabs and fill them with action buttons. Tabs can be renamed, hidden and shown, and rearranged to suit how you want your interface laid out.
Beyond building tabs, the tool works in both directions: tabs can also be converted back into toolbars. This gives you a way to move between the standard toolbar setup and a tabbed panel without starting over each time.
Developed by miauu, the script is compatible with 3ds Max versions 2020 through 2026. Version 1.1.1 was last updated on 2025-04-07. A demo video is available, and more information can be found on the developer's page.
miauu's Tab Panel is best for 3ds Max users who want to organize their toolbars into a tabbed panel.
miauu's Tab Panel is completely free to download and use.

That range covers a broad span of recent Autodesk releases, so most users on a current or recent version should be able to run it. The current version is 1.1.1, last updated on 2025-04-07. If you are unsure whether your specific build is covered, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.
Yes, miauu's Tab Panel can convert existing toolbars into tabs, which is one of its core functions. It also works the other way, letting you convert tabs back into toolbars. Alongside conversion, you can create entirely new tabs and fill them with action buttons, rename tabs, hide and show them, and rearrange their order. This gives you flexibility to organize the 3ds Max interface around a tabbed layout and switch back to toolbars whenever you need.
miauu's Tab Panel is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The tool is made by miauu, who publishes scripts, tools and plugins for 3ds Max. You can find more information, along with a demo video, through the official link before you download and set it up in your own 3ds Max installation.
