Display a list of object's heights

Description

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
