any function to do it, thx!
vray, maxwell, thea, thx
Below script was tested for vray, maxwell and the rhino renderer. I do not have thea renderer to test against. It selects by the plugin which is set current under:
Render > Current Renderer
Assignments could have been done by Object or by Layer. For the latter, objects are selected if they are placed on a layer which has a material assigned by the current plugin.
SelMaterialAssignedByPlugIn.py (1.9 KB)

If you’re in the V-Ray Material Editor, just select any material.
Right-click and choose “Select All Objects Using This Material” from the fly-out menu.
Hi Dave,
the script posted above does not involve specific material names. It just selects all objects with materials assigned by a specific plugin id. (the current render plugin). To select a certain material by its name, this command can be used too:
_SelMaterialName
This seems to work with vray, maxwell and the built in rhino renderer. I guess if thea assigns material names in rhino, it might work as well.

thank you very much for your help!
