Hi,
Saw the Select By Material choice in the image of your command list, and found a version of the original by Hiroshi Igami that can be added to a toolbar, as improved by Bill Leaming (in an FSDeveloper forum post, as I remember). I added it to my MeshTools toolbar.
But now I can't find it! So here is the script - it's not mine, remember:
Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Description: Object Select by Material
-- Created: 18MAR2009 version (0.75)
-- Created by : Hiroshi Igami (Project Opensky)
-- http://www.projectopensky.com
--
-- Modified* and Expanded by: Bill Leaming (Eaglesoft)
-- Modification Date: 28APR2009
--
-- How to use:
-- 1. Select 1 parts which will has the material to be selected
-- 2. Run this script
--
-- Known problems.
-- Selects the group when there is a parts using the material inside.
--
-- *Added "On Execute do" command, and macroScript menu entries to allow
-- adding this script to an existing "Mesh Tools" menubar, or a user-created
-- menubar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
macroScript SelectByMaterial
category:"Meshtools"
toolTip:"Select by Material"
Icon:#("Material_Modifiers",1)
(
On Execute do
(
selmat = $.material
for i in 1 to objects.count do
(
if ( objects[i].material == selmat ) then (
selectmore objects[i]
)
)
)
)
Copy this code, paste into a new text document. Name it something like SelectByAircraft.ms, and place into the GMAX/stdplugs/stdscripts folder. Then add to a toolbar like described above.
Hope this helps,
