Title: Dialog Boxes
Post by: Bobby Parker on May 10, 2023, 07:38:02 PM

Is it possible to suppress the pop-up boxes I get when adding a Forest item? I have to click close a thousand of those boxes a day.

Hi,

I suppose you are referring to the XRef Object Merge: Units Mismatch warning window. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to bypass this dialog window – it’s triggered automatically by 3ds max when merging object(s) from a scene that’s using different scene units and as this issue isn't related to our plug-in at all (it'll happen in any scene using several XRefs that doesn't match the scene unit set-up), we can't do much more in this case. Thanks for your comprehension. If fact, we asked Autodesk about some mechanism to disable it, but I’m afraid there isn’t any at the moment available.

Best regards,

Forest popups can be disabled at General->Settings icon->Disable PopUps.

But as Michal pointed out, the XRef popup comes from Max and cannot be disabled.

can this setting be accessed/changed via maxscript or registry access?

No, but it can be changed in the Forest config file: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\<max version>t\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\forestpack.ini
