Change group of all objects?

[Nikki Bergiere]

So, I screwed up. I wasn't paying attention to which group tag I had active, and spent about two hours building a skybox filled with over a hundred objects, all getting assigned to the wrong group.

Is there any way for me to mass select all these objects and change the group, without having to go one by one?

Also, I don't own the parcel. The owner wants to set the parcel to group only but can't do that until all the objects are set to the correct group, or we have to start over from scratch.

there may be another way... but this is what i would do:

 

in your viewer - its under tools in mine - check "select only my objects"

next, go into edit on one object of yours and select it

now, holding down the SHIFT key, draw with the cursor around the skybox

still holding the SHIFT key, on the object tab, select the group to set it to (it may take a little time for this to set - if it greys out, select the group again)

do this a couple of times until you are sure you have all the items set to the group

 

hope this helps

Her is one. Assuming you use Forestorm, open Area search (in the world menu) and search for objects that has you as the owner. Select everything on the search results list, right-click and choose "Edit" and then change their group in one go the way Emma suggested.
