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).
