3ds Max 2022 – 2027
Install a 3ds Max tool
MAXScript tools drop into a scripts folder and run from the menu. Compiled plugins ship as an Autoloader bundle, the same mechanism Revit uses.
Requirements
- 3ds Max 2022 – 2027
- Windows 64-bit
Steps
- Close 3ds Max.
- Unzip the download.
- Copy the
.bundlefolder to%AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins. - Start 3ds Max and find the tool in its menu group.
- Activate with your licence key.
Worth knowing
MAXScript tools are version-tolerant: one codebase covers every year from 2022 to 2027, so upgrading 3ds Max does not require a new download. Compiled C++ plugins are not binary-compatible between years and ship one build per version — check the compatibility page before you upgrade Max.
If something goes wrong
The menu group is missing after a Max upgrade
Max writes its menu configuration per version. Reset the menu with Customize → Revert to Startup Layout, or reinstall the bundle so it registers against the new year.
