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)
Commonly useful when select target lights, cameras or tape helpers,
or any objects with (older) Look_At transform controller applied
and you wish to select their targets as well.
This simple script lets you choose a wirecolor by an object (like "Select by Color") and select all objects with the same color. You can move the selection to levels we have chosen.
