We’re pleased to introduce Hierarchy Guardian, a new professional tool designed to help 3ds Max artists analyze and clean complex scene hierarchies with confidence. Large scenes coming from CAD, BIM, Revit or SketchUp often arrive with deeply nested structures, leftover helpers, broken groups, or problematic transforms that can destabilize production workflows.

Hierarchy Guardian approaches cleanup differently. Instead of blindly modifying the scene, it performs a structural analysis first and presents a clear report showing the hierarchy structure, potential risks, and the expected impact of the cleanup. This allows artists to fully understand what will happen before applying any changes.

The tool is designed for production environments where reliability matters. With built-in safety mechanisms, scene backups, and intelligent cleanup rules, Hierarchy Guardian helps maintain stable hierarchies while preserving important elements such as instancing relationships, cameras, lights, and other critical scene components.

To celebrate the launch, Hierarchy Guardian is available with a 30% introductory discount until March 15, 2026. If you regularly work with large imported scenes or complex ArchViz projects, this is a great opportunity to add a robust hierarchy cleanup tool to your 3ds Max workflow.
