You can add sublayer to buttons, just add a layer to the action of a button, then you can attach buttons to that sublayer. That way you can open different layers, by clicking on different buttons.
at a quick glance that video looks very cool. would this hotbox be context-sensitive, i.e. depending on which mode/subobject level was active you could define different sets of buttons? edit: i have never used the hotbox in maya much and only remember few options to set regarding it's contents - can you customize it like…
Space triggers it but just moving the mouse through the button does nothing you have to click it, so its almost there... Edit: err what Noors said... heh
Question, can we assign 'mutiple boxes' to multiple buttons? For example, if I press Shift-Z for basic tools, Shift-X for Ribbon tools, etc, using Hotbox?
The quad menu has 4 sections and everything must be stacked inside one of those 4 categories, you can't choose the position of the menus/buttons, it's just 4 lists of commands and your command either goes up or down the list.

This is probably obvious to everyone else here but for me I just hate code so for me to potentially have my favorite tools in fewer clicks…

It's an improvement but the need to click a button means it isn't quite there... yet. The lack of 2012 support is a disappointment we're just switching to 2012 at work, hopefully that can be worked out. Personally I would love to see it work exactly like in Maya or Composite/Toxic where you can gesture through the menu…
Hi ! I've found this script, lurking on cgtalk. i didn't see any thread about hotbox on PC (except one where Pior says he's in love with quadmenus) http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/max-hotbox ! it says it doesn't work on max 2012, but apparently it's ok with SP1 I know there have been some attempt at it but this…
