No find/replace in the stock tool though. I use Paul Hormis' renamer script instead... http://www.hyperent.com/TiM-Scripts-UI.html Naming along with selection sets/layers is the best organization for me.
ola.. thx for the repy´s i´m already x-refing a lot but thx anyway seems in max 7 there is realy no better way to organise your stuff.. at the moment i try it with naming conventions and reduction of "useless" layers.. but with that.. if i use, lets say, 6 bipeds in my scene .. they should be named bip01, bip02 usw..…
