Stands out in the scriptspot library because it links BIM and CAD sources into 3ds Max without an .fbx export step, while retaining referencing into third-party scatterers.
Mirza Link Manager brings links from BIM and CAD software into 3ds Max, following an import-once, update-any-time approach. You can combine links from different sources in a single project, for instance using Archicad for the interior, Revit for the building, and Vectorworks for the landscape. Linking works from any software with no need to export to .fbx, so you choose the best format available in your BIM or CAD application.
Link management covers duplicating, merging, and referencing other links, which opens up alternatives and templates. You can use other links as references, even from external 3ds Max scenes, update multiple links at once, and rely on an automatic check for updates. A built-in material converter handles Autodesk materials.
The plugin integrates with third-party tools including Forest Pack, Rail Clone, V-Ray, FStorm, and Corona, with distance map support, and retains referencing into scatterers such as Forest Pack, Corona and VRayScatter, and FstormScatter. Revit import is optimized, import is faster overall, and property and layer management is improved. It is tailored for professionals working in architecture.
Mirza Link Manager is best for architecture professionals combining links from multiple BIM and CAD applications inside 3ds Max.
Mirza Link Manager is completely free to download and use.
Mirza Link Manager lists compatibility with 3ds Max versions 2015 through 2024. If you run one of those releases, the plugin should fit your setup. Version 3.1.5 was last updated on May 14, 2025, so it reflects recent development. Because host support can shift between releases, check the developer's page at mirzasoftware.com for the latest details before installing, especially if you work on a newer 3ds Max version than the listed range.
Mirza Link Manager integrates with several third-party plugins, including Forest Pack, Rail Clone, V-Ray, FStorm, and Corona, with distance map support included. It also retains referencing into scatterers such as Forest Pack, Corona and VRayScatter, and FstormScatter, so those setups carry through when you update links. Alongside this, a built-in material converter handles Autodesk materials. For the full list of supported plugins and any version-specific notes, the developer's page at mirzasoftware.com is the place to confirm.
Mirza Link Manager lets you combine links from different sources within one project. For example, you can use Archicad for the interior, Revit for the building, and Vectorworks for the landscape. You link from any software without exporting to .fbx, choosing the best format available in your BIM or CAD application. Its link management also lets you duplicate, merge, and reference other links, including from external 3ds Max scenes, which supports building alternatives and templates.
Mirza Link Manager is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current arrangement and any usage conditions, check the developer's page at mirzasoftware.com. The plugin comes from mirza and, at version 3.1.5, targets architecture professionals who move BIM and CAD work into 3ds Max. Confirming details directly with the developer is the safest way to know what's included before you download.
