Good hint, Michael. Thanks for sharing!

Hello everyone and apologies for necroing this thread. :|

I am trying to find a way to export my selection as multiple separate .objs and run across this script. What would be the best way to do that? I should probably look for a batch rename script and then run this one- unless there is a simpler way.

Maybe read this entiere little thread http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8582.1

Hi nameless, you can try this for assigning a generic name "object_1", "object_2", etc.. to all current unnamed objects:

script: /* assign names to unnamed objects */ var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(); var counter = 0; var current_names = []; for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); if ( obj.name ){ current_names[obj.name] = true; } } for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); if ( obj.name ) { continue; } ++counter; var name = 'object_' + counter; while ( current_names[name] === true ) { ++counter; name = 'object_' + counter; } obj.name = name; }

Thanks Pilou and Michael,

These both work!

I was wondering- Is there a way or a "bridging" script that can run 2 commands one after the other with a single shortcut? That would help script illiterates like me to be able to cook two commands together. I understand that this could potentially create unexpected problems with dialogues and stuff but it was worth a try :))

Thank you for that naming script Michael! I badly needed it, as I rarely name things, I work messy as hell :|

Not currently but that is something that I want to add.
