Display a list of object's heights

Submitted by X-RUST on Tue, 2017-06-27 03:57

Hello. I have like 200 hundred max's native cylinders of different heights. Is it possible to load a list of heights of the selected cylinders? These cylinders are actual parts of a complex construction I'm making, so I need to know how long each one is. I searched but didn't find such a script. If I actually missed one, please let me know of it, I'd be grateful!

.

You can use miauu's Live Measure Pro script to see the heigth of the cylinders directly in the viewport. Link: http://miauumaxscript.blogspot.bg/p/miauus-live-measure-pro.html

Or you can use this:

for o in selection where classOf o == Cylinder do format "% %\n" o.name o.height

Select the cylinders you want and execute the script. In the maxscript listener you will see the name of the Cylinder and its height. Something like this:

Cylinder002 49.3515
Cylinder003 22.0727
Cylinder001 51.5319
