Replace all instances of one object with another

Hi,

I was working on a project today and noticed that I had created a component for the design that was missing the mounting holes.

The component is used in eight places in the design.

I was wondering if there was a way to replace all the "defective" components with a corrected one - some sort of "find and replace" command.

Thanks.

Frederick

Surely wtih Elephant the Node System by Max Smirnov!

You have also the MoveSlicetoPoint script but that is one by one !
And you must draw a point to each Target object(s)!

Hi Frederick,

Sorry no, nothing really like that currently. That's something that an "instancing" mechanism will be good for but MoI doesn't have that function in it as of yet.

For now you would just need to use Transform > Copy to place 8 corrected objects.
