sceneexplorermanager.addproperty "Radius" getrad setrad 2 Save the file in text format in the Scripts folder in your program installation. Use the file name radius.ms. 3 In 3ds Max, create some teapots and spheres. 4 From the MAXScript menu, choose Run Script, and then find and highlight the script file from step 2 and open it. This adds a new item to the Column Chooser. 5 Open a new Scene Explorer window, right-click a column heading, and choose Column Chooser. 6 Scroll down to the bottom of the Column Chooser dialog, and then drag the Radius item to one of the current column headings. The new Radius column shows and lets you edit the Radius values for the teapots and spheres. You can now, for example, highlight several of the objects by dragging in the Radius column, press F2 to edit the first item you clicked on, and enter a new value; this sets all highlighted items to the new Radius value. Using groups with Scene Explorer ■ By default, group on page 282 members do not appear in the Scene Explorer list. To show group members, open on page 283 the group. When the group is closed, only the group itself appears in the list. ■ Scene Explorer does not support grouping functionality. In other words, you cannot add members to groups or remove members by dragging and dropping items in Scene Explorer.
