FAQ & troubleshooting

The questions that come in most often, each with the short answer first.

Copy and paste

Paste brings nothing	Either the slot is empty (look at the HUD) or a different key was held. Paste reads the modifier keys the same way Copy does.
The objects arrive somewhere else	Without Paste on Cursor they arrive where they were copied, in that scene's coordinates. Turn Paste on Cursor on, or drag the slot from the HUD.
The pasted scene cannot be opened by a colleague	Their Max is older than the Max Save Version the slot was saved as. Set it to the oldest Max on the team.
Materials came through with missing maps	Turn on Collect & Send Textures on the sender's side, and Pull Textures to Local on yours.

The HUD does not show

Settings › Core › HUD Overlay. It draws only in the active viewport, and only after the scripts have started, the listener says if they did not.

The toolbar is missing

The beta does not make one: Customize › Customize User Interface › Toolbars, category CopyPaste Studio, and drag the buttons onto a toolbar.

Anything else: write, with the message from the HUD or the listener and which version of Max.
