      Hi,

      We would like to automate some of our library renaming and relinking tasks so that its easier.

      Do you provide maxscript access to the mass-rename tool and the copy relink tools?

      Thanks Troy

    Plugin version: 3.13.55

      Glad to be helpful.

      What exactly do you want to do using API?

      Hi,

       

      To automate the saving of assets purchased from online shops to our library.

      The user enters in the name of the library object, and what folder to save it to.

      The script checks to see if the name is unique in the library then renames the objects assets and copies and repaths them to the correct spot in the library. It also renames the objects and materials in the scene to the new name.

      Thanks

      Troy

      Of course, I don’t know all details, but I would do it like this:
      1) move the model to the related location to the disk. Also, you can keep new models in their original location, but assign related categories to models
      2) Copy used assets using the batch-relink tool ( it allows auto-rename assets with duplicated names. Also you can store used assets to the subfolders with model name )

      So maybe this possible without additional coding.
