Hierarchy Guardian for 3ds Max - Apply for Beta Test

Scenes imported from CAD, BIM, SketchUp or third-party sources often hide deep hierarchies, nested groups, technical placeholders and inherited scale issues that can silently break a production pipeline.

Hierarchy Guardian is a professional hierarchy analysis and cleanup tool for 3ds Max, built specifically for ArchViz workflows.

Instead of destructive one-click cleanup, it analyzes your scene first, and shows a clear report exposing:

  • what will change
  • what will be preserved
  • what risks are involved

All cleanup operations are protected by automatic Hold snapshots, optional scene backups, and post-cleanup validation.

Clean hierarchies. Predictable results. Zero surprises.

We’ve just released a short walkthrough video and opened applications for the Hierarchy Guardian Beta Test.

New Article: Cleaning Bloated 3ds Max Scenes

Many 3ds Max scenes don’t become slow or unstable because of geometry or textures — they degrade internally over time. Legacy data, broken references, scripted garbage, or corrupted imports can quietly accumulate until a file becomes difficult to manage.

We just published a new article that breaks down what scene cleanup and sanitization really mean in 3ds Max, how these problems develop, and why traditional optimization techniques often miss the real cause.

The article also presents a curated selection of professional tools and native workflows, clearly explaining when each approach makes sense in real production scenarios.
