Description

A macroscript tool for selecting objects based on their wireframe color. This macro needs to be loaded as a quad menu item. Unzip the macro and place it in your macroscripts folder (typically: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max XXXX\UI\MacroScripts). You'll find the macro under "DAS Tools" when you go to "Customize\Customize User Interface\Quads\Category: All Commands". The macro is called "Select By Color". Place the macro in any right-click quad. If you are not familiar with loading macroscripts see the max help regarding Customizing the User Interface. Once inserted into a quad menu, when clicked, all objects in the scene with the same wireframe color as the currently selected object are selected. That's it!

Hi!
Nice script! Any luck to make small fix - why it's selecting all hidden objects? (hidden layers as well)
Thx
