Full Version: Is there a script to select similar shapes?

Hello.
Sometimes I have similar shapes all around and I want to select all.

Is there a script to select all of them at once?

Tnx!

Hi Matadem,

re:

I don't know of one that tries to compare the shaping but you can do Scene Browser > Types > Curves > Polylines to select all curves made up of line segments:







If the similar shapes have been made by copying an object, you could assign the object a name before you copy it and then all objects with that name could be selected by the object name inside the "Objects" section of the scene browser.

Hi Pilou, RemoveDuplicates targets duplicated curves that are stacked up on top of each other in the same position.

That won't help for this case since the objects are not exact duplicates and are not all in the same position.

OK! Thx...

Naming before copy or array makes sense.

Thank you!
