possible to rename custom export settings?

RadioRahim — Thu, 04 May 2017 19:16:51 GMT

I know in 3ds Max we create custom export settings, but wondering if we can name them to our liking? It seems that presently I can only choose one of teh existing presets and save those, but there is no rename option.

Hello @RadioRahim,

Which format are you exporting? If you mean FBX, there is a little button on the bottom right that says "Edit". Click that for preset creation and loading. Screenshot below. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Please hit the "Accept as Solution" button if my post solves your issue or answers your question. This lets me know that I was effective in helping you, and thank you for doing so.

Best Regards,

oh im sorry I did not specify the format. I want to create my own preset names for exporting OBJ files.
Thanks for following up.

Hello @RadioRahim,

No problem, these things happen. It's almost a good thing because now we'll have the information in this thread for 2 different formats.

You have to click the grid icon near the presets to open the preset window. Then right click on any entry to create a new preset. I have an image below, please try this for me and thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to mention, you can only rename user made presets, not the standard ones. Once you've made one, just right click on it and it'll be there. Thanks!

Best Regards,

Hello @RadioRahim

They get saved into a file called gw_objexp_presets.ini located at C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg
