Search Select Tool

 Search Select Tool (SST)

The Search Select Tool (SST) is a powerful utility designed to enhance the efficiency and ease of managing objects within a digital scene. Whether you are working in 3D modeling, animation, or any other field that involves handling numerous objects, SST provides a streamlined approach to object selection and material assignment.


Key Features

Simple Selection and Deselection

One of the standout features of the Search Select Tool is its ability to facilitate quick and intuitive selection or deselection of objects. This functionality is particularly useful in complex scenes where manually selecting each object can be time-consuming and prone to error. With SST, you can:

  • Select or Deselect by Name: Easily target objects by their names, allowing for precise control over which elements are included in your selection. This is especially beneficial when dealing with a large number of objects that are systematically named(see our Name Organiser tool). For creating systematic naming of your object see ours Name Organiser Tool 

  

  • Select or Deselect by Material: The tool also enables selection based on the material applied to objects. This means you can quickly gather all objects sharing the same material, making it easier to manage and edit them collectively.

Ability to Assign Materials

The Search Select Tool also excels in its capability to assign materials to multiple selected objects at once. This feature is a significant time-saver, particularly in projects where consistency in material application is crucial. By using SST, you can:

  • Simultaneous Material Assignment: Apply a single material to all selected objects in one action. This ensures uniformity across your scene and eliminates the need for repetitive manual assignments, which can be both tedious and error-prone.




Overall, the Search Select Tool is an invaluable asset for anyone looking to optimize their workflow in digital content creation. Its intuitive selection capabilities and efficient material assignment process make it a must-have tool for professionals seeking to streamline their scene management tasks.

This tool will be further developed to provide best tools for automation of workflow in Blender

Future plans:

Advanced search select : Idea behind is select objects by many attributes filter them by Names, materials, modifiers. And use logical functions AND, OR, NOT to preform the advanced search
