Hello!

I’m very new to Project manager and am loving it so far. Great job!

I have a very specific layer structure I use for projects, and it would be very handy to be able to select a layer, and then drag-and-drop merge objects and have them automatically be moved to that layer. This could possibly be an option

You can do this using Project Manager API

Save the next script to file “MovetoCurrentLayer.ms” and place it to the startup scripts directory.

Restart 3ds max.

fn MovetoCurrentLayer &PostMergeStruct =
(
  local layer = layermanager.Current 
  for obj in PostMergeStruct.Nodes where isValidNode obj and not isDeleted obj do
    layer.addNode obj
)

if (superClassOf PmCallbacks == structDef) do (
  PmCallbacks.removeScripts CallbackID:#MovetoCurrentLayer
  PmCallbacks.addScript #postFileMerge MovetoCurrentLayer CallbackID:#MovetoCurrentLayer
)

For details see the example about callback #postFileMerge on the page

Have a good day!

Fantastic! Thank you :)

 

Is there a spot where your examples such as this are saved? I’m sure there are a lot of handy scripts like this you’ve made…

Hey,

Did this script work for you ?

I saved it to the startup scripts folder as instructed but it does seem to work.

I tried running this command :

PmCallbacks.Show()

and it returns this :

#postFileMerge:
CallbackId:#MovetoCurrentLayer, MovetoCurrentLayer()

So the callback seems to be added properly right ?

Hi
Yes – it should be work.

Note that now Project Manager has a related option in the Preferences.
