Is there an easy way to manage ADT object in MAX

Hi Everybody

 

This is my first post to the forum!

 

I have got different styles for walls and windows in ADT file to assign them diffrent materials and when I link it in 3dsmax, I always have 2 object for each of them which one of them is the actual object.it takes time to select them.I used to make named selections for them to quickly select them. but If you add anything to ADT file you should again make a named selection. and I can't select them by layer because all style of a wall for example are in one layer.

 

I was wondering how you're managing ADT objects in 3dsmax in order to quickly change materials and stuff like that.

there's an option when linking the ADT drawing into max to "combine ADT objects into one" or something like that. It basically means if you have a wall with 3 components, it will make it one object instead of a parent wall and child components.
