[Closed] want: ctrl+1 to select first selection set

Any way to set up multiple selections sets and bind their selection to some hot key?

So if I have all my plants in a selection set named plants, which apears first in the list, I could press ctrl+1 to quickly select it… then ctrl 2 for my stone objects, and ctrl 3 for the bushes… etc…

If you are working with max6 it might be easier for you to setup layers, bind the layer manager to a key and carry on that way.

If you really want a macroscript this may help:

 
 macroscript SelectSet1
category:"Selection Sets" toolTip:"Selection Set 1" 
{




on execute do [indent][size=2]select selectionSets[1][/size]  
[/indent]}  

Bind that to a key and Bob’s your father’s brother. You’re going to have to make duplicates and change some parameters and names to get other keys going but the principal is the same

How about this!

MacroScript Select_Plants “Select Plants Set”
(
if (SelectionSets[“Plants”] != undefined) then
select SelectionSets[“Plants”]
)

If you have consistant SelSet names, you can work with the string name instead of the integer referance…
