Smart Material Select
This script streamlines the process of selecting similar objects based on material in your 3dsmax scene. It automatically opens the group, eliminating the need for manual opening. Additionally, it can handle the selection of multiple samples. For instance, you can select a window frame and then add glass to select both window frames and similar glass objects.
This script is particularly beneficial for architects, interior designers, and visualizers, as it significantly speeds up their workflow. While it has been tested for compatibility with 3ds Max 2024, please use it at your own discretion.
Users manual:
-Open the Customize User Interface window by navigating to: Menu > Customize > Customize User Interface.
-In the Category dropdown menu, locate and select "dollah script".
-Find the "Smart Material Select" action in the list.
-Drag the "Smart Material Select" action to an existing toolbar, or create a new toolbar for it.
Prepare Your Scene:
Ensure your scene contains objects with materials applied.
Grouped objects will be handled automatically, so you don’t need to ungroup them.
Select Sample Object(s):
Select one or more objects in your scene that have the material you want to find similar objects for.
