Example script for custom gizmo


#1

What I want to create is basically the same as a BoxGizmo, but that additionally also displays a couple of points inside the volume at certain locations.

I did see the topic on sripted manipulators, but I don’t want to create a manipulator - I just want to create an independent helper object with custom visualization.

I didn’t find how I can create custom gizmos and define the viewport rendering. Can someone point me to a maxscript that is doing this (dosn’t have to be a box, just any kind of custom gizmo)
