Hi,

first, thanks for your tool, it works great and helpfull.

Just one thing : is it possible to keep the dimensions of old objects ? Exemple : my reference object is a tree (dimensions 30x30x30) : I need to replace boxes by the tree. But I need the trees keep the boxes dimensions. Lije this it makes a forest with a lot of various trees.

Would it possible to add this fonction ?

This script saved a lot of time for me. Thank you very much for sharing it.

i made a video here and sent my file to your emai

Please, try the _m version of the script. There is new "Match" option - Transformation. use it when you want to replace the mirrored groups or obejcts.

your script is very uselful , but it does not understand mirror group , can you fix it, thank you very much

I can't reproduce the error? can you send me a test scene at miau_u@yahoo.com ?
