FaceGuard 0.9.0-beta

FaceGuard is a safety-first MAXScript for finding exact duplicate faces in
Editable Poly geometry without blindly deleting coincident surfaces.

Beta highlights:

• Whole Scene, Selected Objects and Selected Polygons scopes.
• Safe, Review and Cross-object result classes.
• Material ID, smoothing group, winding and active UV checks.
• Topology revalidation before deletion.
• Safe faces only, deleted in one Undo step.
• TXT/CSV reports, progress and cancellation.
• English Quick Start, Russian guide and sample-scene generator.

Verified runtime: Autodesk 3ds Max 2025.2.

• Functional safety suite: 29/29 PASS.
• Packaged compatibility probe: 13/13 PASS.
• UI, package install/upgrade and sample-generator smoke: PASS.
• 500,000-face synthetic scan: 121.969 seconds on one controlled workstation.
  The original 120-second target was missed by 1.969 seconds and is not claimed
  as passed.

Compatibility candidates needing real probe logs: 3ds Max 2020-2024, 2026 and
2027. Please use the Compatibility report issue form. Do not upload client
scenes or confidential assets.

FaceGuard is not a universal topology repair tool. It does not repair stretched
polygons, intersections, open borders or arbitrary broken topology.
