I recently completed a 2400 frame animation. It had 394 objects in it. I
named objects I would be "hiding" and "unhiding" frequently in the 3D Editor to
have names beginning with "Z" or "Y". This way I could use Display/Hide/By
Name and find objects very easily. Unhide was also easy.
When I moved over to the Keyframer, I discovered (using Display/Hide/By Name)
that the objects were no longer listed in alphabetical order, but were listed
in the order they were created. The most recently created objects were at the
end of the list.
This forced me to search through the 394 objects to find many of the objects to
hide, and unhide.
I am guessing that this is an oversight, and the 3D Editor and the Key Framer
should work the same.
Can this be fixed in any future releases of 3DS, and expecially in MAX?
Thanks,
Dennis
