Full Version: Removing duplicate objects

From: shayno

Hi Michael
I find if I use scaleindividual on objects where some of them are mirrored that the mirrored ones get duplicated.

Is there a script or command that can remove duplicate objects ?

The removeduplicates command works brilliantly on curves
Something like this for objects would be great

cheers

Hi shayne,

re:

Before you run scaleindividual, try using Edit > History > "Disable update" button.

Does that prevent the duplication?

Sorry no there isn't anything for surfaces or solids as of yet.

Thanks Michael the disable history works but then the other objects forget that they have been mirrored etc

Hi shayne, I think if you want to preserve the history on the mirrored objects you'll need to have them unselected so they are not processed by scaleindividual.
