Hi Guys,

I want to click a button that selects all objects with the same name as my currently selected object.

This will select all objects with tree in the name:

for i in $*tree* do selectmore i

so I tried:

myselect = $.name
for i in $(myselect) do selectmore i

and several variants of syntax but can't get it to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Leigh

Was searching cgtalk for a bit of assistance, since I always have trouble with name literals, and noticed you got your answer over there already

Anyways, welcome to the board.

Yeah, it's sparked quite a long thread, havn't had chance to test it yet.

Here's the thread if anyone else is looking for it:
