Why we like it

Point Helper keeps its scope tight: two verts, one button, an aligned point helper. It earns its place in the scriptspot library by handling that one specific alignment step.

What is Point Helper?

Point Helper is a 3ds Max script from Chuggnut that creates a point helper aligned to two selected vertices. It works directly from a vertex selection, turning the position of two verts into an aligned point helper in the scene.

The sequence is short. Select two verts and press the button, and the script creates a point helper aligned to them. Then set the axis set to "pick" and choose the point object. Those steps cover how the tool is used.

This entry is version 2.3.5 and is listed here as free, and it is available in the scriptspot library. For the download, current licensing terms, and the latest release details, Chuggnut's own page at chuggnut.com is the place to look.

Frequently asked questions

Is Point Helper free to use?

Point Helper is listed here as free, so you can add it to your 3ds Max setup without a purchase through this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, though, and the free status shown here is not a live feed from the developer. For the current terms, the download, and any conditions attached to using the script, check Chuggnut's own page at chuggnut.com. That page is the authoritative source for how the script is distributed and whether the free listing still stands.

How does Point Helper create a point helper from vertices?

Point Helper builds a point helper aligned to two selected vertices. The workflow is short: select two verts in your mesh and press the button, and the script creates a point helper aligned to those verts. After that, you set the axis set to "pick" and choose the point object. Those steps make up the sequence the script is built around, moving from a vertex selection to an aligned point object through the pick option.

What version of Point Helper is available?

Point Helper is listed here at version 2.3.5. That is the release recorded on this catalog, and it reflects the state of the script at the time of listing rather than a live feed from the developer. Newer builds may exist that are not captured here. To confirm the current version, read any changelog, or grab the latest release, Chuggnut's page at chuggnut.com is the place to check, since the developer maintains the authoritative record of the script.

Where can I download Point Helper?

Point Helper is distributed by Chuggnut, and the developer's own page at chuggnut.com carries the download and further details. It also appears in the scriptspot library, where this entry is catalogued. If a link in one location is out of date, the developer's page is the more reliable place to find the current file. Follow whatever installation instructions Chuggnut provides alongside the download for adding the script to 3ds Max.
