Shortcut to Highlight Selected Object's Layer

Submitted by DotScott1 on Thu, 2014-09-04 07:29

This seems like it would be a such a simple thing but I can't seem to find the right command. I'm trying to create a shortcut to "Highlight Selected Object's Layer" in the layer manager (Max 2014).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know how to make the Macro, just don't know the right command for this. Also, if you figure it out, can you explain how you found (or knew) the correct command?

Thanks in advance!

SUCCESS!

A friend of mine at work created it and... turned out to be pretty simple (2 lines of code)! Here it is! Drag it into your max window and you can find it in the "Custom" category.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I found those commands but still can't find the one to "Highlight Selected Object's Layer" (to highlight the layer that the objects are on). This button is located in the "Manage Layer" dialog box.

Still searching for this one :/
