Lightning protection plugin use case
Creation of a Lightning protection helper object in 3ds Max in order to simulate lightning protection on facility model imported from Autocad. Wire selection and basic parameter set up for generating a protection area model based on rolling sphere method. Additional creation of horizontal contour lines to be exported (i.e. Autocad).

Vertical contour generation based on path spline
Vertical contour generation based on selected protection area model and selected slicing path spline.
