Build 3.0.0 represents a major milestone. The development team has focused on three pillars: , Intelligence , and Interoperability .
ArchToolz is a collection of that work inside Autodesk 3ds Max. It has gained popularity among architects, visualisation artists, and designers who need to work efficiently across different renderers, file formats, and material libraries. The 2024 Build 3.0.0 update (often referred to as version 3.00) introduces support for the latest 3ds Max version (2025) as well as for modern render engines such as Corona 13 and V‑Ray 7, while keeping compatibility with older releases down to 3ds Max 2020 and Corona 8 / V‑Ray 6.
The installation process for ArchToolz 2024 Build 3.0.0 is straightforward:

While 3ds Max itself is often critiqued for its high cost and steep learning curve, tools like ArchToolz are highly regarded for making the software "faster, efficient, and reliable".
Selecting the right objects or materials in a complex scene can be tedious. ArchToolz includes several automated selection helpers:
Efficiently distribute furniture, plants, or interior decor across surfaces with randomized rotation and scaling to eliminate artificial uniformity. 4. Clean Topology and Asset Optimization : Adds a new layout for the Randomizer
"As an educator, I love that ArchToolz works on 3ds Max 2020 lab computers AND my 2024 home workstation. Students learn architecture, not polygon surgery." —
