Archviz Project Builder

One-sentence summary

Create consistent, reusable folder structures for architectural visualization projects directly from 3ds Max.

Short description

Archviz Project Builder helps 3D artists quickly create organized project folders using customizable hierarchical templates.

Full description

Archviz Project Builder is a lightweight 3ds Max utility for creating consistent folder structures for architectural visualization projects.

Choose a project location, customize the folder hierarchy, and create the complete structure with a single click. The default template includes commonly used folders for scenes, models, proxies, textures, references, renders, post-production files, temporary data, and project delivery.

Folders can be added, nested, or removed to match your workflow. Custom structures can also be exported and imported, making it easy to reuse the same organization across projects or share templates with a team.

The script creates directories only. It does not modify the current 3ds Max scene or move existing project files.

Recommended

Drag from this page into 3ds Max

Click Install, then drag the package block into the 3ds Max viewport. This installs Archviz Project Builder and MaxPkg Manager with the toolbar and in-app package search.

If drag and drop does not work, download the Installer from the modal and run it with Scripting → Run Script.

Install Manager first

Install MaxPkg Manager manually

Download the latest Runtime Manager MZP and run it in 3ds Max. Then use the new toolbar to open MaxPkg Manager and find this package.

Download MaxPkg-Runtime-Manager.mzp

Already installed

Install from MaxPkg Manager

Open MaxPkg Manager, search for this package, and install it there. You can also run this command in the 3ds Max listener:

maxpkg.install "archviz-project-builder"

Manual MZP

Download only this package

Use Download MZP manually, then run the downloaded .mzp through Scripting → Run Script. This installs only the package, not MaxPkg Manager.

After manual install, find the actions in Customize → Customize User Interface → Category: MaxPkg.

1. What does Archviz Project Builder do?

Archviz Project Builder creates an organized folder structure for architectural visualization projects directly from 3ds Max.

2. Does the script modify my current 3ds Max scene?

No. The script only creates folders on your storage device. It does not modify scene objects, materials, render settings, or project files.

3. Can I customize the default folder structure?

Yes. You can add root folders, create nested subfolders, and remove folders you do not need.

4. Can I reuse my custom structure in other projects?

Yes. Custom structures can be exported as template files and imported whenever you start another project.

5. What folders are included by default?

The default template includes folders for scenes, models, proxies, maps, references, renders, post-production, temporary files, and delivery. The renders folder also contains previews and final subfolders.

6. What happens if some folders already exist?

Existing folders are preserved. The script creates only missing directories and reports how many folders were created, already existed, or failed.

7. Can the script overwrite or delete existing project files?

No. Creating a project structure does not overwrite or delete files. Removing an item from the structure editor only removes it from the template—it does not delete the corresponding folder from your drive.

8. Are invalid folder names detected?

Yes. The script rejects empty names, duplicate folders at the same hierarchy level, and characters that Windows does not allow in directory names.

9. Does the script remember my settings?

Yes. It remembers the customized folder hierarchy, the last selected project location, and the window position between sessions.

10. How do I launch the tool after installation?

After installing it through MaxPkg, open the 3ds Max interface customization window, select the MaxPkg category, and add the Archviz Project Builder command to a toolbar. It may also appear in the MaxPkg toolbar when that integration is enabled.
