Why we like it

Rename helper is a single-purpose script: it renames multiple unique objects through a macro, keeping the task to a selection, a click, and typed input followed by return. If that focused, keyboard-led approach to renaming suits your 3ds Max work, it's worth a look on scriptspot.

What is Rename helper?

Rename helper is a script for 3ds Max built for the multiple renaming of unique objects. The workflow is direct: select some objects in your scene, click the macro, then type and hit return to apply a name. As you go, the currently selected object is displayed with a yellow box around it. Because it handles multiple renaming, it works across a set of selected objects.

The tool comes from developer Chuggnut and is catalogued on scriptspot. This entry covers version 2.3.5.

Rename helper is listed here as free. To download the script and confirm any current licensing terms, visit the developer's page at chuggnut.com. Because it runs as a macro, the whole rename operation comes down to a selection, a click, and typed input followed by return.

Frequently asked questions

How do I rename objects with Rename helper?

Rename helper works from a selection in 3ds Max. Select the objects you want to rename, click the macro, then type a name and hit return. While the script is active, the currently selected object is displayed with a yellow box around it. The tool is built for the multiple renaming of unique objects, so it is aimed at handling more than one object at a time.

What does the yellow box in Rename helper indicate?

Rename helper displays the selected object with a yellow box around it while you rename. As you run the macro on your selection and type names, that yellow box appears around the object that is currently selected. Beyond marking the current object with the box, the script keeps the interaction to typing and pressing return, so most of the naming happens from the keyboard once the macro is running.
