Thanks, but it work not like i need.
I try to make Box array and make torus intersected many of boxes. When i use script when all selected it slect only torus.
If i select only torus and run script - it make nothing selected.

Maybe i do something wrong?

if you only test for their
if you only test for their bounding box, this is very easy. if it has to be more precise, which in your case i fear it has to be, it gets more complicated and i dont know how to do it right now. i think you might have to raytrace from the surface of one object to another ones and see if you hit, which would be very costly on performance. hm... maybe someone else has a smart idea :P
Never get low & slow & out of ideas
