[Closed] count objects under crosshair

 rdg

hello,

I am working with a file imported from autocad full of splines (all z=0).
Some of this splines are doublets and share the same place.

Is there a way to count the objects in the viewport under the selection crosshair?

I have to click on every spline and delete it, to find the doublets.

Is there something “ray-like crosshair view object array” that can be registered as viewport-redrawing callback to show this number?

Maybe someone knows the right terms to find this issue in the maxHelp file – I am stuck.

This is possible for geometric objects, but not for shapes I’m affraid.
An alternative way to select the objects is by dragging a window (using the ‘window crossing’ option) over the shapes and then ALT-click once to deselect one shape.

seems taht you are right.
I tried the “select under mouse script” and it didn’t see the splines …

thank you.
