Setting a lot of objects to group?


Recommended Posts

So, like an idiot, I've built an entire sim and had poor group discipline.   Some of the things I rezzed out didn't get set to the land group and now I want to enable auto return.   I've, of course, drag selected and set everything I can find to group...   over and over as I cam around.    But before I turn on autoreturn and play 'lost and found roulette' with whatever I've inevitably missed...    are there any tricks I'm not thinking of to check or ensure things are good?  A button in some window or script tool or something that would let me see what's not set to group?   I'm not expecting a miracle, but I'd also hate to do it the hard way then have someone say "Why didn't you use the 'set all objects to group button in some advanced menu?'   So I'm asking!   

Thanks!

Some viewers (maybe all..) have a setting in preferences that makes all objects rezzed by you be set to the right land group.

I think the land information window (Objects tab) shows you what is not set to group? You can highlight those items from there. Turn on midnight and you'll see them easily.

Thanks Emma!   I had that setting on, in Firestorm but... somehow STILL screwed it up!    And in my viewer the objects tab lets me highlight everything that IS set to group, but not what isn't?   If there's another version of the viewer with a 'what's not' I will totally download that and try!    

Thanks for trying to brainstorm with me!   lol.  At some point I'm just going to have to click the button and restore what I still screwed up!   But thanks for trying to think of ways to minimize the impact!   :)

If all the objects are yours, can you throw your cursor around them and lasso a lot all at once and then set the group? I can on my place... If an item is very small it may not be captured by the lasso unless you're very close. 

 

Perhaps go round at a low light setting after that and see what isn't yet highlighted.

Good idea!   Yes, I did that, running around lassoing bunches and setting group if any of the objects weren't already set to it.  I think I have most of them.  It's just what you mention...  I worry there are little ones that I'm missing so was asking if there was a tool that would help me find those last few things.    It's so hard to see the unhighlighted stuff through the highlighting of a sim worth of stuff!    

I have been drag selecting...  setting to group...   and then derendering everything I had selected... to help me try to be thorough and not keep wasting time selecting the same things over and over...   so if anyone else finds themselves reading this in the future with this problem...  derendering temporarily helps!    

Thanks for trying to think through strategies with me!    I'm sure it will be fine...ish!  lol.

You could use Area Search, with your view set to say 400, search on you as owner, and look in the list for objects that have no group listed or the wrong group.
