Able to import individual Selection Sets only, not collections
Hi merlinpy, thanks for creating this script! I can export an entire SS collection easily, but at the moment all I'm able to figure out is how to import individual Sets, not the entire exported collection. The Import window only seems to allow one set to be selected at a time from the list. Am I a totally helpless knob at the mercy of multiple-selection keystroke technique or have I reached a limitation of the script? Many thanks in advance! -Q
multiple selection sets
Hi kirillall,
the script creats a text-file with all the selection sets of the export scene file. So if you import that text file, all these sets will be recreated.
You can open the text file with an editor and have a look at all the sets and their objects.
Does that answer your question?
Hi merlinpy. Very handy
Hi merlinpy. Very handy script. Thank you. I cant import multiple sets at once. Is it possible?
bug fixed
Hi Andrey,thank you for your reply! I've fixed the problem with max2013 and updated the file. Please download the new version and let me know, if there are any bugs.
Great script!
I've felt desperate need in such a handy tool.
Alas, script doesn't work with 2013 Max.
I can see .txt exported and all stuff inside,
but import command brings only empty selection set name.
