Maya_question - Selecting objects smaller than a size you specify...
polycounter lvl 2
Hi guys
New user here.
Here is my situation. I am working on a scene(MAYA) with thousands of objects, but I don't need the objects that are smaller than a certain size. Is there are a way(maybe a script) of selecting multiple objects in a scene that are smaller than a size you specify(xyz scale)? This will speed up my workflow tremendously.
Thank you in advance!

GetSmallObjects( 1, 2, 3);
where the numbers are the x, y, z, sizes
Thank you!
