select by modifier

[komyali]

I made big scene with thousands of objects, and use slice instance bla bla, but now I have new objects and when I put old slice instance it doesnt put slice plane on right spot. I have two options to select all objects with slice ( I dont know how to select objects by modifier ) or to off slice and put new modifier ( is it ok because of geometry and other stuff)? any sugestions

Man this is what I hate at max, for some basic things you need tons of plugins... thanks anyway, for what max is this and I need just select modifer, and as I can see this is controller for everyting...

Reset Xform. It should then qucikslice as you wish in the correct area.

Great, I didnt think about that, I will try

Generally when it comes to modelling, if tools don't work as they should, reset the Xform modifier.

 

In my experience issues such as this tend to happen as a result of too many modfiers on an object, or some corrupt geometry/scene. If you need to have the option of returning to a previous stage of the model in the stack, save out a revision of the scene under a different file name. That way you can always go back to it.

 

When you have done the above, collpase your stack -> Reset Xform and carry on. I always tend to collapse stacked geometry when I get to a certain stage in my workflow. It also speeds up your scene and reduces memory usage.
