Select by Length
Hi I have a request, I'm sure it's quite simple. I have search but can't find the right thing. Although I would love to learn some scripting I have never found the time and for this one I really have such a tight deadline I am really hoping someone will assist.
I have about 1500 randomly sized boxes in a scene and I need to alter there lengths and hieghts but try and keep them random(ish). I would like to be able to globaly select them and do a change max/min size to them so only reducing or increasing and sizes outwith parameters set.
or/and
Select objects with width or length that exceed certain parameters then i can use the "Adjust Length, Width, Height"
script but that won't keep them random
I know this is a big ask but any help would be really appreciated

If I understand...
You work with parametric Length, Width, Height, not with scale and just need to reduce this params. Also search how to select them by property size. If so, maybe this examples can help.

You can try this. Set min/max
You can try this. Set min/max values for the axis you want to use and hit button with the name of that axis:

You should duplicate as copy a box with a Xform modifier on top.
Then use ModmodZorb script to randomize boxes height for example, and then you can mofify result by changing Xform scale for eg.
