Hy scriptgods and max-halfgods!
Is there a possibility to recreate group headers once they are deleted? I have that case that someone deleted some headers during the process.
any ideas :shrug: ?
hope there is light at the end of the tunnel…
thanks in advance

Funilly enough I’ve been working on grouping this week!
You can set any object to be a group head from my discoveries, then you set other objects as group members, then set the new members to be children of the group head.
Some test code:
b = box()
setGroupHead b true
for i = 1 to 5 do
(
s = sphere pos:(random [-100,-100,-100] [100,100,100])
setGroupMember s true
append b.children s
)
Hope that helps.
hy dave! tested your assembly! worked fine with a demo scene…
but what if i allready have objects that once belonged to a group (with a deleted header )?
how can i pick or select objects with the selection floater and ad them to a group? any ideas?
thanks in advance

Just script it. Select your objects and run:
gpMembers = $
gpHead = dummy pos:gpMembers.center name:"New Group"
setGroupHead gpHead true
for obj in gpMembers do
(
setGroupMember obj true
append gpHead.children obj
)
Hy Dave again!
i modiefied your script bits a little…the paradise edition of this script would be a menu with a “Pick” button where you can select lost group members by choice
b = box()
setGroupHead b true
for i = 1 to 1 do
(
s = Dummy pos:([000,000,000])
setGroupMember s true
append b.children s
$Box01.name = "RepearedGroup"
)
