I don’t know anything about SDK, Is it possible (easy) to create this kind of features?
-
An object with CustomUserProperties, but accessible only throw script.
-
Powerful metadata system, so we can read data without opening max file.
-
An object with always hide property, so we can force it to always be hide or be freeze, something like particleview, I can see it in merge dialog only! or biped footstep object.
– An object with CustomUserProperties, but accessible only throw script.
you can do it using mxs and AppData
– Powerful metadata system, so we can read data without opening max file.
you can do it with c++ but sdk can’t help with it. try to find my post about this matter

you can do with mxs. Bobo already have answered this question on this forum.
AppData is ok,you can get data by ID=Value pattern, but Key=Value in userprop.
It would be great if you point me to those topics.
what does “but” mean? probably i’m missing something. actually what is CustomUserProperties? do you mean User-Defined?

Sorry, I mean User Defined.
After some thinking i would say AppData works very well, and it seems User Defined works by storing a string in a channel(ID) of AppData , right?
I got answer of my first question about object properties.
I will search how we can use “Structured Storage” in maxscript, Thank you! and one question remain : how we can find bobos post about force hide?
i like the term “bobos post”… but i can easily find only “denisTs post”s
