About names in max ?!?!?

[Dave Black]

I'm not aware of any tools for this task, but I do know this:

Max labels objects(internally) by a unique ID. Doubled names are not a crash inducing problem or anything...obviously something one would want to avoid, but it's not too life threatening. Of course, if you are working with alot of doubled names, a script would come in pretty handy.

Looks like you have a new project.

Hi i was wondering does anybody know if it's posible to check if there are any names double in your max scene.

i have this house which i have to clean up, but there are some names who are exactly the same, is there any way to check this execpt from the fact that i have to read trough a list of +/- 800 names to check if there are any doubles :D

and if there is not such a plug-in i'll try to write it :D

sel_array = $* as array
name_array = for i in sel_array collect i.name
for o = name_array.count to 1 by -1 do
(
if findItem name_array name_array[o] != o then
(
old_name = sel_array[o].name
sel_array[o].name = uniquename sel_array[o].name
format "Renamed % to %\n" old_name sel_array[o].name
)
)
