Select Similar (sub)Type

Script to select similar objects based on the objects sub-type or parameter.

How it works

Select an object and run the script. It will try to detect the type and use a smart criteria to select similar objects. This works better than the default 'Select Similar' Tool of Vectorworks because it uses object styles and parameters to select. For simple 2d objects it select objects based on the same type and class. For plugin objects (PIO's) I've scripted custom criteria based on parameters I think are useful for selection.

Hope it speeds up your workflow!

Installation:

  • Unzip and place the 'Select Similar (sub)Type.VSM' inside your Plug-ins folder
  • Restart Vectorworks
  • Add the 'Select Similar (sub)Type' (see 'MP' menu) to your workspace. Best to add it to the object context menu. That way when your right click on an object you can use this script to select similar objects based on the (sub)Type.
