Description

Quick Selection is a handy utility that provides several methods for selecting and managing objects within the scene, including the following:


  • Selection by Category
  • Selection by Stored Objects
  • Selection by Selection Sets (independent of any Max file)
  • Selection by Pathname literals (stored in a text file)


See online guide in links section. 




Latest Updates:

Version 1.1;

  • Store Selection now stores object names to an INI data file (same as Selection Sets) for persistence.
  • Added functionality to rename a selection set item and sort the selection sets list.
  • Added thin bar button to open the INI data file for browsing or editing.
  • Internal code refactoring and further UI tweaks.


Additional Info

The script can be found in category “LB Tools”.
