Toggle Size Limits

Prim Composer offers configurable size limits that prevent prims within 3ds Max from being scaled larger than the maximum allowed in a target platform such as Second Life and OpenSim. Because these limits vary (10m max for Second Life and a default of 256m in OpenSim), the minimum and maximum prim sizes can be set in Prim Composer > Preferences > Prim Defaults. This is flexible, but there are still some instances where one would like to disable the feature altogether.

Prim Composer 1.2 allows you to completely disable the size limits in 3ds Max.

This is helpful in a couple of ways:

• It speeds up viewport interaction.
• It eliminates nuisances when working with the modifier stack.

In addition to enabling/disabling size limits within a session, there is also a new checkbox in Prim Composer > Preferences > Misc Preferences which allows you to turn off size limits by default.

Permission Preferences

There is a new rollout called Permission Preferences in Prim Composer > Preferences. This lets you globally set the permissions in 3ds Max that you want all prims to have.

These permissions are applied to each prim that is exported from 3ds Max and Maxport sets the permissions accordingly when the prims are imported into Second Life or OpenSim.
