SelectionSet Tools manages 3D model sets in 3ds Max

Main Features

Export and Import

The script allows saving selection sets from the scene as XML files and loading them later. When loading an XML file, a window opens showing the stored sets, ready for selection and import. It is important to note that it only works with XML files created by the script itself.

Synchronization

With the update list button, it is possible to update the selection sets list to reflect changes made in the scene, such as adding or removing sets.

Direct Selection

When selecting a name from the sets list, the associated objects are automatically selected in the scene.
