Running "select by name" pick box

Submitted by bromleyfalco on Wed, 2015-07-29 09:21

Was wondering how easy it would be for someone to whip up a always on pick box for selecting scene objects by name. I was thinking like having a floating window that updates as objects are created/renamed, and if i click the name in the list, it automatically selects the obj in the scene. Maybe as an added bonus it would have filter buttons on the top part of the floater. The biggest problem I have with the one built in to Max is have to find objects and then closing the dialogue box. I would want the script to just stay open all the time, next to where i'm working on screen for easy access. Let me know and thanks for reading.
