How to rename the obj faster use script?

[denisT]

In my scene,there're three objs, one obj's name is xx_xx_xxxxx_x0, and i need to rename other two: xx_xx_xxxxx_x0_00 and xx_xx_xxxxx_x0_01 .

Everytime i need to rename other two name manual,so i think maybe it have a shortcut to do it. Like this:

When i select one obj, and click "pickname", it will be show in the first line, when i select the second obj, and click "rename" ,its name will be change...so as the third...

With a non maxscript solution, you can go to the menu "Tools" and select "Rename Objects..."

A window named "Rename Objects" will open.
Now, to do what you want, you need to:

Check the option "Base Name" and write the name you want like "xx_xx_xxxxx_x0_".
Check the option "Numbered" Keep basic settings
Hit Rename and you are done.
Won't be that hard to script it, and the maxscript help documentation about the unique name is a good start, to know how to rename objects. You will need to add your selected objects in an array and pass each of them, one by one in a loop to give the name you want plus a numerical value as suffix.

Wich it can help.

C:\thePath\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\ui\macroscripts\Wahooney Tools - RenamingAK.mcr

menu Customize > Customize User Interface... > Category:Wahooney Tools

then you can assign a hotkey (Keyboard tab) or add to UI (Toolbars, Menus, Quads tab), as you prefer.
