Sometime ago, one user here (sorry don’t remember Your name), asked if there was a way to quickly align objects in Max like you do in Acad.
So I’ve remembered that on this site: http://scripts.breidt.net/
there are lots of cool scripts and the 3-Point-Align v1.2 that does just the job!
Thanks Martin!!!
Was this the thread you were thinking of?
