selected by wirecolor

only for visible obj?

Hey there. Thanks for the code. Unfortunetly it also selects obj that are hidden by layer. I tried to write a function "where not a.ishidden" but it doesn work. Anyone able to help.

Would need the part where it sees what is visible/or not hidden and then selects by wirecolor
i = $.wirecolor
select (for o in objects where o.wirecolor == i collect o)

rollout Selec

rollout Selec "Select"
(
button one "Select by Color"
on one pressed do
if selection.count== 1 then
(
i = $.wirecolor
select (for o in objects where o.wirecolor == i collect o)
)
else
(
messageBox "Select only one objct please" Title: "Selection Error..."
)
)
createDialog selec

I just make a dialog

You can also select by

You can also select by wirecolor in the same dialog where you SET the wirecolor for an object manually, there is a small button with 4 little blocks on it that will select all of the same color object you have currently selected.

its a bit hidden.

horrible explanation, oh well! 

hi, should be easy enough.

hi, should be easy enough. run the following lines seperately in the Maxscript listener.

with first object selected run:-

i = $.wirecolor

then run:-

select (for o in objects where o.wirecolor == i collect o)

this will select all objects with wirecolor of the original selected object.
