Hi, is there a way as im copy pasting to change children’s name as well?

Eg. My parent is called “Main_null_01” and the children “null_01”,“cube_01”,“anyname_01” etc.
At the moment as im copy pasting only the parent name changes to “null_01.1”

How is it possible to do it on the children too?
Thanks!

Hi thanulee,

I’m not aware of a copy and paste function that would do it within these two steps. Perhaps there is a Python script somewhere that I’m not aware of.

The Naming Tool is perhaps the closest, but yes, it is manual, with the advantage that you can determine each time what you need.

Here is a quick demo of it:

Otherwise, I could imagine that a specific paste command could do that, but it would require a suggestion to MAXON:

Naming tool does the job alright!Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, thanulee, very kind of you.

My best wishes
