New in MAXScript in 3ds Max 2027


Bitmap copy quality parameter	The `copy` function for bitmaps now takes an optional `quality` keyword parameter to determine how to copy when the source and destination bitmaps are of a different size.
D&D Support	The `materialbutton` and `mapbutton` ui controls now support drag and drop operations. The `on picked` event is now called when a material or texture map is dropped on them.
System Globals	Two new global system variables provide access to the macro recorder behavior: `macroRecorderEmitterEnabled` gets/sets whether the macro recorder emits messages to the Listener, and `macroRecorderEnabled` is a read-only variable that indicates whether the macro recorder is enabled.
