This is something I’ve been wondering for a while. I haven’t actually put huge effort into figuring out why this happens, so… well, if there’s a part of the manual that explains it, you can all feel free to yell at me to RTFM.
On most of my MaxScripts, I end up batching huge piles of objects or files. This always seems to make the 3DStudio window gray out, or even claim to have stopped working, but I can still see that the script is doing what it’s supposed to be doing. Is there as simple way I can prevent the UI from pretty much crashing during massive batch operations? I can’t be the only one to have experienced this.
