_SelSameName?

Rhino

Would there, could there be a macro for selecting objects with the same name?
Currently -Selname Select does not work with preselection

Hi Toni - - scriptable -SelName Select Enter with pre-selection should work - as it does with

-SelLayer Pick Enter

, but does not. Not to mention the option name should match. Thanks for pointing this out, I’ll see if we can get it fixed.

Here is a Python script that may help.

Thanks @pascal @dale
So python it is.

I re-wrote Dale’s idea to a button.
Seems to work. Good for now.
