Custom Default Parameter Manager

3ds Max 2021.1 allowed users to define default parameter settings across many parts of the application, but the workflow normally required MaxScript. Changsoo Eun created a utility that listed available classes and their parameters, allowing defaults to be set through an interface instead of direct code editing.

Pipeline teams should test changed defaults in a clean configuration and document them before studio-wide deployment, because altered application defaults can affect scene consistency.
