Select Objects By Sub-Material

Select Objects By Sub-Material (SOBSM) is a simple free script that allows you to quickly select all objects in your scene that use a selected sub-material from a Multi/Sub-Object material.

Unlike the native "Select Objects By Material" tool, which only selects objects by exact main (parent) material match, this script analyzes material IDs assigned to faces/polygons. This allows you to select objects by a specific sub-material, even when a Multi/Sub-Object material is assigned to the entire object and the desired sub-material is only used on a portion of its faces.

The script works with both material editors in 3ds Max - the Compact Material Editor (Medit) and the Slate Material Editor (SME). Select a sub-material in any editor, run the script, and all objects that use this sub-material (on faces with the corresponding ID) will be selected.

Simply selects the active camera from the current viewport (even if cameras / layer is hidden). If you've ever been frustrated because you're working full screen looking through the camera lens then need to change something about your camera, this script is for you. In that case you just run the script and bam you're able to edit camera properties in the stack or adjust keys in the time slider all with a single keystroke instead of having to hunt around in the select by name dialog...
