I don’t think you can get that info directly from MaxScript, but you could check the file size on 3dsmax.exe easily enough. That should be a fixed, p…
Unless you tell Max otherwise (with the “wirecolor” argument, or by assigning a material), new primitives are assigned a random color at creation. So…
HiddenDOSCommand is fussy in my experience. You often need to use the “startPath” argument to make it go, even if the operation itself doesn’t care. …

I updated the code on that blog post and the script in the ZIP file. The getPropsString function now handles the typical property trees. I also chan…
