Issue

You imported an fbx file from Revit that contains 'Pendant Light - Linear' lights. When you started the Light Lister from the Tools menu, you received the following error message:

MAXscript Rollout Handler Exception

Solution

This issue occurs because the default names of the Revit light objects contain double quotes (").

To correct this issue, you need to replace the Macro_LightList.mcr file. Follow these steps:

  1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\ui\macroscripts\ directory and locate the Macro_LightList.mcr file.
  2. Rename the file, Macro_LightList__old.mcr.
  3. Download the Macro_LightList.mcr file that is attached to this solution, and then save it to this directory.

Macro_LightList.mcr (mcr - 83Kb)
