Spline Cleaner is an advanced batch processing tool for cleaning, repairing and managing spline curves in Max. You can select, attach, detach and delete multiple shapes using smart filters: by size, by length, by proximity, by similarity, by wirecolor, by layer, etc. You can also optimize, normalize, weld vertices, reduce number of vertices, attach selected, explode splines/segments, remove duplicated curves, fix gaps, restore damaged segments, eliminate garbage, and more.

This tool is ideal for cleaning and repairing spline curves imported into Max from vector drawing software or CAD software, such as Adobe Illustrator or AutoCAD. Either for architectural plans, animation paths, terrain contour lines, logotypes, vector text or any spline-based 3D model or project.
