This script will find all objects with Poles (places where more than 5 edges coming from one vertex) and select them (Objects and Poles too).
Its useful to make clean polygonal model prepared for subdivision and avoid mesh artifacts.

The alternative to "Select similar" command that selects not just objects of the same type, but objects that you consider to be visually similar! It uses different characteristics to compare objects such as polygon count and size. For instance, if you created several copies of a certain tree, you can select all the copies of this tree among a lot of other editable mesh.

this script works like select similar faces in polyboost or gmt, but with splines. so feel free to test it an post some suggestions :)

it have two modes:
by segments - selects by spline segments and their lengths (most precise)
by length - selects by overal length of the spline (useful in some cases)

new in v2.1
by type - selects by knot type (bezier,corner,etc)

With this script you can select splines' segments by matID.
There are two methods of selection:
- "Use IDs of selected segments" - select some segments and press the [Select] button. The script will find the matIDs of the selected segments and will select all other segments with the same matIDs.
- "Use IDs typed below" - type as many matIDs as you want in the field(separate matIDs with comma) and press the [Select] button. The script will select all segments with the matIDs entered by you.
