Just wondering, am I missing something here or is it a bit tedious . .
This is the scenario.
I have a file with 4 objects.
To move some elements from one "object1" to another object say, "object3" I selected the items and then type in the info box in top right hand corner the name ("object3") this then puts the items on that object layer. If i accidentally mis type the name so its not the same as the one existing then another object will be created. Well this is the way I do it.

Is there another way to move items between layers? I am fully aware i could be doing it wrong but i dont see it . . . .

Matt

Hi Matt yeah I am planning on adding some more controls to the scene browser to make assigning more objects to the same name to be easier, something like a pop out menu that will have a "Assign to this name" menu item on it that would help with that.

In the meantime there is a plug-in that can help with that right now - it will add a command called AssignName which pops up a dialog that has all the existing object names in it so that you can then double click one to assign to the selected objects.

See here about how to install it and set it up:
