In my scene,there’re three objs, one obj’s name is xx_xx_xxxxx_x0, and i need to rename other two: xx_xx_xxxxx_x0_00 and xx_xx_xxxxx_x0_01 .
Everytime i need to rename other two name manual,so i think maybe it have a shortcut to do it. Like this:
When i select one obj, and click “pickname”, it will be show in the first line, when i select the second obj, and click “rename” ,its name will be change…so as the third…
It have a little difficult for novice, so can you help me?
Thanks!
check uniqueName in MAXScript Help…
With a non maxscript solution, you can go to the menu “Tools” and select “Rename Objects…”
A window named “Rename Objects” will open.
Now, to do what you want, you need to:
[ol]
[li]Check the option “Base Name” and write the name you want like “xx_xx_xxxxx_x0_”.[/li][li]Check the option “Numbered” Keep basic settings[/li][li]Hit Rename and you are done.[/li][/ol]Won’t be that hard to script it, and the maxscript help documentation about the unique name is a good start, to know how to rename objects. You will need to add your selected objects in an array and pass each of them, one by one in a loop to give the name you want plus a numerical value as suffix.
Wich it can help.
Thanks for your replay…Myanko.
But i couldn’t just to use it,i want to learn it , so if it have script?

The maxscritp…not simple!!
menu Customize > Customize User Interface… > Category:Wahooney Tools
then you can assign a hotkey (Keyboard tab) or add to UI (Toolbars, Menus, Quads tab), as you prefer.
