Detach by Material ID

We want to change to mesh instead of poly when we run the script. How should I change it? We want the noodles to be mesh.

Could anyone adjust it to have EditableMesh as output objects?

This script saves lifes thanks for the effort !

Nice detach feature in this one too :

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/select-objects-by-bitmaptex

This script is a life saver for that kind of models which comes all in one single layer. But the client toke the time to insert some materials definitions on it...

Really great man!, you save my morning!

would be great to have an option to detach by material ID to EditablePoly elements (not new objects) - separate macros without UI

thank you in advance

Great script dude,
But when tick the use bitmap name option, it saves it with a random bitmap name, not one that corresponds to the object!

Any ideas how to fix????

This is great, but freaks out and throws up an error when one of the selected objects has only a single id and cannot be detached.
Can this be easily fixed ?

Very Nice!! I wish it had an option to group the objects after it blows them apart, or at least have all of the objects selected that it tweaked. Thank you for the script!

it gave this error when trying it on a bunch of vray materialed objects...

one of the selected objects had no multiple materials applied so have to choose the objects carefully!:)

Hey man, the script doesn´t work for me. I´m using max2009, and when i click the detach button, nothing happens....
is a pity, because it´s a very useful script.
Thanks,

Jsrocha

thanks bro.. this script is very useful..

Great work !!

Plus 1 to Titanes request :)
it would be handy to make each object end up with its separate material and not the multisub.

Thanks! I might need to test this again.. but I think that's what the "Propagate Materials" is for. :)

O O O O
verygood ,thanks.^_^

Woaw ! simple and efficient... 5 ***** for this perfect script !

happy to see you're here !!!! :-)
Thanks again !
I will abuse : could it be possible to have each resulting separate object with right material applied ? (and not the multi subobject material ?)
For chrismas ? New year ? :-))

ok! somehow, i couldnt get myself to not update this script. merry christmas.

thanks, I'll try to look into the code again and see if i can make feasible adjustments. I can't promise an update anytime soon coz of busy schedules, my apologies.. :)

Great script, thanks !!!!
Last update 2005 is somebody strong enough to optimize it ? (a bit slow)
