What the hell does "Save Layers as Object..." do?

OK, I have an object that has many layers. I want to save each layer as a seperate object. I thought that's what "Save Layers as Object" would do. Maybe it does, and I haven't a clue. Off to read the F'ing manual, but if this isn't it, how do you do this? Mike Tripoli

Mike, Well, I found a plugin on Flay that will save a particular layer to a file, but not all at once -- how would you name the objects? Anyway, it's called "Copy Plus/Cut Plus/Paste Plus/Save Layer to Object Plus" (long name ;-) here's the link: http://www.dstorm.co.jp/english/plugin/modeler.htm Jim "Mike Tripoli" <mtripoli@hell.com> wrote in message news:2ukc911jfr2f4sp32jgmnsg4ue2ml2bmqj@4ax.com... > ok, I get it... read the manual... > > I know there must be a way to save all layers at once as seperate > objects... > > MT

Maybe it does, and I haven't a clue. Off to read the F'ing > manual, but if this isn't it, how do you do this? from the PDF: Save Layers As Object � Use this to save a foreground layer to its own object fi le. If multiple layers are selected, they will be saved in a single layer. Make sure you add the .lwo fi lename extension to your object name when saving. IOW, this ain't the droid yer lookin' for.

Thanks Jim, If a plugin saved individual layers all at once, they could be named namexxx_000.lwo, namexxx_001.lwo, etc. I wouldn't care what they're named.... Thanks for the link!

Tried it... it does 5 layers then closes Modeler... not written for 8.3 perhaps...? Otherwise, it is exactly what I'm looking for... (it named everything as I said; test (filename) becomes test_1.lwo, test_2.lwo, etc. Too bad...

Try the new version with the included test object please: http://lightwavers.com/files/lscripts/savelayersasobjects_103.zip New: - zero padding in filenames - fixed filename numbers to match real layer number (sorting order 1, 20, 2, ..)

Tried the new version and it works lickety-split! Thank you very much! Must have been somehting stupid with my model that it didn't work before. Just saved me a whole lot of mouse clicks! You might want to post this as a seperate link... Thanks again!
