SmartVCB – Interactive Value Control for 3ds Max 2020 - 2027
Work Faster. Model Precisely.

SmartVCB is a lightweight yet powerful interactive tool designed to make modeling in 3ds Max faster, easier, and more precise.

It allows you to enter exact numerical values directly in the viewport while performing modeling operations, without interrupting your workflow or switching to parameter panels.

A compact floating input box automatically appears when using Move, Rotate, or Scale, allowing you to control transformations simply by dragging and entering the desired value.

But SmartVCB goes beyond basic object transformations. It also provides precise numerical control over sub-object modeling, modifiers, splines, and multiple selected objects.

Key Features

Interactive Transformations
- Move – Enter exact movement distances while dragging objects.
- Rotate – Control rotation angles numerically.
- Scale – Apply precise scaling values directly in the viewport.

Sub-Object Modeling
- Supports Vertex, Edge, and Polygon selections.
- Simply select the desired components, drag in the required direction, and enter an exact value.
- Works with Extrude, making it easy to enter precise extrusion distances directly during modeling.

Modifier Support
- Works with a wide range of modifiers and editing objects, including Edit Poly, Edit Patch, Edit Mesh, Symmetry, FFD, and more.
- Numerical control remains available while working with modifiers, without relying exclusively on their parameter panels.

Multiple Objects & Groups
- Works with multiple selected objects and groups.
- Apply a modifier to multiple objects and use SmartVCB to control their transformations.
- Maintain precise control over multi-object editing operations.

Spline & Shape Support
- Supports Editable Spline, Edit Spline, and other spline-based workflows.
- Provides numerical control for spline sub-object selections as well.

Copy & Instance Workflow
- Easily adjust the spacing between multiple copied or instanced objects.
- SmartVCB remembers the original positions of all involved objects, allowing you to modify their spacing while maintaining their relative arrangement.

Compact Floating Interface
- Automatically appears when performing supported operations.
- Stays conveniently positioned in the viewport.
- Provides a clean and unobtrusive interface without unnecessary panels or dialogs.

Work Faster. Model Precisely.

From object transformations to sub-object editing, modifiers, splines, and multi-object workflows, SmartVCB brings precise numerical control exactly where you need it – directly into the 3ds Max viewport.
