amSelect

This tool is designed for files with a large number of objects, where it is difficult to select them one by one. The tool performs search and selection with greater precision and flexibility than the native tools of 3ds Max.

Changelog

Important considerations

With geometry imported from other software, it may sometimes fail to correctly identify search patterns.

V 1.10

Added support for 3dsmax 2027.
Various minor optimizations.

V 1.0

Developed and tested in 3ds Max 2026.3 and Windows 10.

Features:

Tools for agile layer visibility control.
Search by many types of criteria, there are so many that it is best to try and choose the one that fits best; the script can perform the same search using different methods.
Quick options for grouping/ungrouping.
Selection using Boolean operations (presets can only be used in the same file in which they were created).
Selection by filters expands the selection methods to various types, and can generate presets to save and use in other files.
Advanced is the search tool with the highest geometric precision; at the same time, the tolerance can be configured according to the needs of each search.
