[Closed] Move material from Temporary Library to an open SME

mxs reference is your best friend if you’re going to write scripts
<void>SetSelectedNodes <maxObject by value array>refs
used like this

array_of_materials = ...
view = SME.GetView SME.ActiveView
view.SetSelectedNodes array_of_materials

as an alternative every sme node has .selected property which you can set to true

sme_node = view.createNode (falloff()) [10,10]
sme_node.Selected = true

As a non-destructive workflow I’d do it like this

• Store previous sme selection
• Deselect all view nodes
• Put new materials/textures into active view
• Layout all nodes in a view
• Select newly created nodes
• Pan to selected
• Restore previous selection
