Hi
I cant find the repeat object function in 3dsmax 8
Anyone can give me a hint?
I don't like to build 32 objects manually :/

What do ya mean repeat?
You could use maxscript to record a macro of sorts and run the script on each object

Open the scriplistener, build an object. select the scripttext, drag it in your menu and click

Well, there was a function to repeat an object x times, with a certain amount of space between it
Dont know what the name is
Think its part of the package
Just cant find it in the new max :-)
It was an icon with circles aligned in a circle
Its just to clone a bunch of objects
