[tabishtariq]

Hey Guyz... I have a query related to 3d max... m importing the Revit model into 3d max... I have made the block of 25 sofas in Revit, after importing into 3d max plz tell me how would i select all the sofas simultaneously ??

Try selecting one sofa, and right click, and in the list you will see select similar, select that.

Hit isolate and that might work.

Re layer it then.

Select similar should work but be aware that it will also take into account similar materials. So if you have the same materials on all your objects it will pick everything too, not just the sofas.

 

Go to the Soulburn Scripts website, Neil Blevens' website, and get his script pack. In there is a script that is called "Find Instances" and it selects every object that is an instance of the selected object. Revit should have made those sofas instances of each other.

 

Or, select them by name all in the select by name dialog at once and create either a group/layer/selection set of them. Again, they will all be by each other since they are all named the same.
