Hi

Is it possible to open a "Select Folder..." Dialog, enabling the user to set a path that is used later in my script? I can't find any info about this anywhere

*edit: think the answer might have something to do with dot net... not that i can find much information about maxscript and the dotnet class though*

Where did you look for the info? ;)

It is in "Standard Open and Save File Dialogs" topic.

thePath = getSavepath()

In Max 8 and higher, it also allows you to set the initial path to browse from, like

thePath = getSavepath initialDir:(GetDir #maxroot)

will start browsing in your Max root folder.
