I’m re-writing the Object Properties window to not be modal, much more user friendly and useful!
sorry, i don’t have a time to check it. does it support multiple selection?
Yep, handling the multiple properties the same way the standard dialog does.
It’s not far off being finished, I’ll get version 1.0 out this week then we can look at adding some cool extra bits to it!
I had an idea about having the multiple dialogs, so you could compare properties of two different nodes. I’m guessing having the Rollout in a Struct would be the way to do this?
could you post a direct link to this tool’s download please?
multiple rollouts? hmm… i’m not sure. a side-to-side comparing tool might be cool. i did it for materials (shaders). it was helpful.

My code is a bit messy at the moment, got a few optimizations and cleaning up to do.
There are some issues with the dimensions of the selected object.
Create a Teapot. The dimensions, shown in the default Object Properties dialog and your dialog are equal.
Now, rotate the teapot and reselect it. The dimensions is different.
When I scale the teapot the dimension is different.
Cheers miauu, that’ll be a tricky one to solve so I’ll get onto it…

The Maxscript tab will be muchos useful… need to add search ability to it for sure!
Here the code:
(
objLocalBBox= in coordsys local nodeLocalBoundingBox selection[1]
olbb = objLocalBBox[2] - objLocalBBox[1]
w = olbb[1]
l = olbb[2]
h = olbb[3]
format "width:% length:% height:%
" w l h
)
Cheers miauu, put that in.
New version (almost finished)

Now as a macroscript, and a few extra goodies.
Any additional feature requests?
#1 it must be undoable
#2 it has to update the dialog when any controlled property changed outside the tool.
