The script operates by saving selected objects on your local computer or a server. Therefore, it’s important to specify which folders you want the script to use for saving the selected files. You’ll need to choose both a local folder and a server folder for this purpose. If you don’t have a server, you can still use the script to copy and paste files on your own computer.
Automatic Installation: (Autoinstaller is in beta now, so if you have any issues with it — please contact me)
- Close 3ds Max (if you have one opened)
- Run «Copypaste.exe», it will automatically copy all the files to their destinations
- Create a new toolbar and fill it with actions from category «ES_CopyPaste»
(In 3ds Max click «Customize» > «Customize user interface. » > «Toolbars» tab > «New. «) - Choose local and remote folders for copying files, copy version and silent mode on/off within Settings button and click «Save».
Manual Installation:
- Drag’n’drop ES_CopyPaste.mcr to your 3ds Max viewport.
- Copy «scripts» and «UI_ln» folders to your root 3ds Max folder.
- Reload 3ds Max
- Create a new toolbar and fill it with actions from category «ES_CopyPaste» (In 3ds Max click «Customize» > «Customize user interface. » > «Toolbars» tab > «New. «)
- Choose local and remote folders for copying files, copy version and silent mode on/off within Settings button and click «Save».
Critical Hotfix v1.1
- Folder selection in Settings now saves destination folders properly
- Objects are now selected after paste
- Naming for saved object fixed to avoid misunderstanding
Update v1.2
- Silent Mode! When Silent Mode is deactivated, the script will notify you about duplicates of objects or materials detected after pasting. This way, you can easily decide how to handle duplicate names, giving you the flexibility to choose between renaming, merging, or ignoring duplicates as needed.
Update v1.3
- Cross-Version Compatibility: You can now copy and paste files between different versions of 3ds Max. This feature allows for greater flexibility when collaborating with teams using varying software versions, ensuring seamless asset transfer and collaboration across the board.
- Enhanced Screen Support: New icons are optimized for both 4K and 2.5K screens. Now, users with high-resolution displays can enjoy a sharper, more visually appealing interface, making navigation and interaction even more intuitive.
- Autoinstaller: New autoinstaller streamlines the installation process. With just a few clicks, you can have the script up and running, eliminating the need to navigate through different folders or directories. This simplification saves you time and ensures a hassle-free setup.
If you have ANY problems with the script — don’t hesitate to write an e-mail to me (brovar.work@gmail.com). I respond quickly and will provide help as fast as I can.

3ds Max Collaborative Copy-Paste Script 2021-2024
Copy Paste — Objects/Materials/Modifiers
Copy Paste is a 3ds Max tool that allows teams or individuals to copy and paste objects, materials, or modifiers across multiple instances of 3ds Max. It supports sharing these copy/paste buffers in shared locations on the network or local on your computer. The tool helps to keep everyone up to date with real time updates anytime a new copy is created or modified.
- 3ds Max 2021 or later
- Supports customizable save locations for the copy buffers
- Real time updating across multiple people
- Which means if you decide to share the same ‘save’ location for your copies to be stored, anytime a new copy is made or removed your tool will update in realtime

Hello. The script is
Hello. The script is interesting. I have some ideas how to improve it. And I am ready to buy it with such improvements
1. I work with several colleagues via the internet, cloud storage. You constantly need to send and receive something. You need to be able to select multiple users and folders associated with these users. for example, there is User 1, he sent me a Box, now I want to send a Sphere to User 2. I selected a sphere from the list and sent it to him. In the settings, you need the ability to change the number of users (decrease and increase). And if you want, even change the order of their location.
2. Among all the files sent, it is not always possible to understand what was sent. Poor preview or too small details, a lot of files, etc. Therefore, it is very important to be able to comment. For example: «the facade of the building is old» or «the paving slabs are updated». Especially in architectural visualization, where the huge scale is relevant and the preview may not save.
3. Sort files at least by name and date so that the newest appears at the top. This is also very important!
Thank you for your work, many of your scripts are very useful, I am constantly watching what you will create!

Copy and Paste Objects
It’s always annoyed me that I couldn’t copy objects from one instance of max and paste them into another — as I work with 2 or 3 instances of max up at a time. It’s tedious to do a save selected / merge objects so this script does it for you. It’s not a TRUE copy/paste via the windows clipboard — but it will let you very quickly copy objects from one file to another.
Additional Info:
09-02-03 Update: just updated contact info in script header and changed version requirement to reflect current versions of 3ds max.
Usage:
Select the objects you want to copy. Run ‘copy script’ (I assign mine to Ctrl+Shift+C). Now run the ‘paste script’ (I assign mine to Ctrl+Shift+V) into either the same file or you can load another instance of max and ‘paste’ the objects into it.Installation:
1. Click Maxscript / Run Script and choose wherever you downloaded this file to
1a. It will seem like nothing happened but that’s exactly what it should do — you now need to assign a shortcut to it
2. Click Customize / Customize User Interface / Keyboard (tab)
3. Change the Category to ‘CG_Tools’
4. Click ‘Copy Objects to File’ and change its Hotkey to something — maybe Ctrl+Shift+C .Click Assign
5. Click ‘Paste Objects from File’ and change its Hotkey to something — maybe Ctrl+Shift+V. Click Assign
6. Click Save and save your custom UI settings to a file — do yourself a favor and don’t use the default.
