Tool to Determine File's 3ds Max Version

[FlyHigh 175]

For those who use multiple versions of 3dsMax for the past years, sometimes you may get confused about what version was your file done in. I found this tiny program called 3DS Max File Version that lets you know just that. It is pretty straight forwards.

The program is hosted in Scriptspot.com

3DS Max File Version

Submitted by hummus on Mon, 2011-07-11 08:50

This VB-compiled tool serves just to test which version of Max was used to create the saved Max file. Since 3DSMax doesn't do a good job at writing its version in the file's properties - I use this tool to find out what version it was created in so I can go back to the proper 3DSMax to edit the file.

If you have multiple versions of Max installed and want to know what version you used on an old project - use this tool to find out.

Notes:
3DS Max version 10 = 3DSMax 2008
3DS Max version 11 = 3DSMax 2009
3DS Max version 12 = 3DSMax 2010
3DS Max version 13 = 3DSMax 2011
3DS Max version 14 = 3DSMax 2012

Thanks to help of Yoav Assa and Michael Levin.

Version Requirement:  Tested on 3DSMax 2015 and below. Will not correctly show versions below 2008.

Clean and fast. Very useful for those who need it. Thanks for bringing it here

Thanks for all of this. This makes it clearer for me.

Hopefully I'll be able to create some apartment buildings (mid and high rise), hotels and resorts that are in my favourite part of the world!
