Sweep Profile earns its place in the ScriptSpot library for narrowing profile creation to a one-click action and letting you set dimensions in a unit that differs from the scene's.
Sweep Profile focuses on one job in 3ds Max: building architectural profiles through the Sweep modifier. Creation and updating happen in one click, and profile dimensions can be adjusted on the fly. If the scene uses meters or inches, you can still specify the profile size in millimeters or other measurement units.
The plugin comes with pre-made architectural profiles — 10 in the free version and 37 in the PRO version — as a starting base. Beyond those, you can add new profiles from the scene or load them from a specific folder, and the Include Subfolders option lets you pull profiles from multiple directories at once. Favorites, adding user profiles to the library, and an Assign button round out the workflow. The PRO version can use selected edges from an Editable Poly.
Developed by KSTUDIO, Sweep Profile is one of the most popular entries on ScriptSpot. It supports 3ds Max 2016 and above, with German and Japanese localizations available.
Sweep Profile is best for 3ds Max artists building architectural profiles and moldings with the Sweep modifier.
Sweep Profile is completely free to download and use.
Sweep Profile supports 3ds Max 2016 and above, and version 1.01.36 adds support for 3ds Max 2026 along with 2025. Support for 3ds Max 2014 and 2015 has been dropped in this release. If you're on a version between 2016 and 2026, the plugin covers your setup. For the exact activation and license management details, including the online license system, check the developer's page.
Sweep Profile ships with a set of pre-made architectural profiles as a starting base — 10 in the free version and 37 in the PRO version. Beyond the built-in set, you can add new profiles from the scene or load them from a specific folder, and the Include Subfolders option lets you draw profiles from multiple directories at once. New Demo Molding profiles are also part of recent updates.
Sweep Profile lets you change the profile size on the fly, and you can specify that size in a measurement unit that differs from the scene. For example, if the scene uses meters or inches, you can still enter the profile size in millimeters or other units. Setting profile dimensions is one of the tool's core functions, alongside creating and updating profiles in one click.
Sweep Profile is listed as free in this catalog. The tool comes in a free version with 10 pre-made profiles and a PRO version with 37, so the number of included profiles and some features differ between them — for instance, using selected edges from an Editable Poly is a PRO feature. For current licensing and activation details, including the online license system, check the developer's page.
Sweep Profile lets you add your own profiles in two ways: directly from the scene or by loading them from a specific folder. The Include Subfolders checkbox extends this to multiple directories at once. You can also add user profiles to the library and mark profiles as favorites. An Assign button is part of the interface as well, and recent versions improved zooming to the profile in the rendering preview.
