Hi Scott,

Thanks for that script. I just tried it, but I get the following error message:



What´s wrong?

It´s the first script I try to install. Just took the script text, put it into text editor, converted to plain text, and changed the fileformat to .js . Then I put it into the commands folder and assigned a shortcut to it.

Another very useful tutorial regarding groups I found is by Max Smirnov: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGiZgl2Q6g8

Asked him for the script via PM. Or does anybody know where to find it in this forum?

Max Smirnov can send something to him I suppose! :)

Hi Philip,

re:
> What´s wrong?

Can you please post your _sameName.js file here as a file attachment so I can take a look at it?

Hi Michael,

there you are. Attached the script.

Philip:
I think you're missing the ending brace.

var objects = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects();
if (objects.length > 0) {
var name = objects.item(0).name;
moi.geometryDatabase.selectNamed(name);
}

Scott

Hi Philip - your script is invalid JavaScript code because it's missing the closing bracket for the if statement.

You've got an open bracket here shown in bold red:

var objects = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects();
if (objects.length > 0) {
var name = objects.item(0).name;
moi.geometryDatabase.selectNamed(name);


So to go along with that open bracket you need a close bracket to complete the if statement, like in the attached file.

Once you add the closing bracket your script should then work as you wanted it to.

EDIT: scott beat me to it! :)

Thanks Scott and Michael!

Stupid small mistake. Works now.
