   Frankly I don't even recall if it's always done this, but I'm in 3ds Max 2013 and it's annoying the shit out of me. It's so basic, but I'm realizing just how much time I'm wasting because of this. Workflow sample - If you press 1, you're in Vertex Mode. If you press 1 again, you exit sub-object mode and go into Object…

   Installed the script and setup the hotkeys, but still not working. If I press 1, I go into Vert mode - if I press 1 again, I exit vert mode. Have you had a chance to test this with 2016?

   If you use RappaTools, it has functionality built in to automatically find the next Edit Poly or Editable Poly in the stack after you select an object and go into component mode when you press 1/2/3/4/5.

   Here is the fix for all new versions of 3ds max (I've tested it on 2016, 2017): Open ...\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\MacroScripts\Macro_SubObjectLevels.mcr and remove everything after "else" like this: MacroScript SubObject_1 ButtonText:~SUBOBJECT_1_BUTTONTEXT~ Category:~SUBOBJECT_1_CATEGORY~ internalCategory:"Modifier Stack"…
