Hello Everyone .I am trying to install Nvidia's apex tool for 3ds max.So I downloaded the DCC plugin of apex tool for 3ds max and also Apex sdk.

So to run on max Do I have to install Apex Sdk also ?

 

Also after I Extracted the contents of Dcc plugin I got some files which I put into 3ds max folders .

THen when I run 3ds Max ,it gives the error 

Compile error: Original macro definition not matched by source in file: D\3ds Max\Macro_PhysX_Buttons.mcr -- In line 15

 

I tried to find the installation procedure for apex tool but couldn't find on the internet.

I think the contents have to be moved to the 3ds max root folder e.g.

 

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\en-US
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\MacroScripts

 and so on. Just copy everything in the apex bin folder into 3ds Max's root folder

I have the very same problem, but apparently nobody knows the answer on this site or on other sites...it drives me crazy! Is the plugin realy buggy or jut not working for a few people?

Most probably you now have a mixed setup of the PhysX tools from Nvidia and the MassFX PhysX version ( which is based on an old version of the PhysX DCC tools ). AFAIK you can only have one of them installed/active at the same time, thus the standard PhysX DCC tool installer should disable the MassfX version, which seemed to be not the case on your installation

Yeah i think you are right! I figured out the plugin is working only the toolbar gives these errors. I try to somehow disable the standard MassFx physx. Thanks!
