Why we like it

Scale Checker stands out in the ScriptSpot library for its narrow focus: it reports non-uniform scaled objects in a scene and does nothing more, which keeps it easy to reach for.

What is Scale Checker?

Scale Checker is a utility script for 3ds Max from developer Sergio Mucino. It scans a scene for objects with non-uniform scaling and prints them to a script file, giving you a written record to analyze.

The scope is deliberately narrow. Its author describes it as a very simple utility, made originally for a colleague, and it centers on a single task: finding non-uniform scaled objects and writing them out for review. There is nothing more to it than that one check.

Scale Checker is listed in the ScriptSpot library and is available as a free download here. A demo video is available, and developer Sergio Mucino's page carries further details on the script and related scripting tools. If keeping scale transforms consistent across a scene matters to your pipeline, this is a focused way to flag the objects that fall outside uniform scaling.

Who is Scale Checker best for?

Scale Checker is best for 3ds Max users who need to flag objects with non-uniform scaling in a scene.

How much does Scale Checker cost?

Scale Checker is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Is Scale Checker free to download?

Scale Checker is listed as free here in our catalog, so you can add it to your 3ds Max setup without a purchase. Licensing terms can change over time, though, so it's worth confirming the current details on developer Sergio Mucino's page before you rely on it. That page, along with the ScriptSpot listing, is the best place to check for the latest information on the script and how it's distributed.

What does Scale Checker output when you run it?

Scale Checker looks through your scene for objects that have non-uniform scaling and prints them to a script file. That file acts as a list you can open and analyze, showing which objects fall outside uniform scale. The script was built as a simple utility focused on this single reporting task, so the output is a straightforward record of the objects it flags rather than anything more elaborate.

Does Scale Checker scan the entire scene?

Scale Checker checks the objects in your scene for non-uniform scaling, then writes the ones it finds to a script file for analysis. It's described by its author as a very simple utility, made originally for a colleague, and it stays focused on that one check. For details on how it runs and any options, developer Sergio Mucino's page is where to look.

Is there a demo video for Scale Checker?

Scale Checker has a demo video available on YouTube, which you can find linked from its listing. Alongside the video, developer Sergio Mucino's page carries more on the script and related scripting tools. Since Scale Checker is a compact utility for reporting non-uniform scaled objects, the video and developer page together are the quickest way to see what the script covers before adding it to 3ds Max.
