<![CDATA[Saving tag/object selections in object manager?]]>Hello!

I'm working on a scene that has many objects, all with Cloth tags applied.
Is it possible to store a selection of these tags so that I can double click on it, allowing me to select the tags as a group again, instead of having to manual select the tags anytime I want to adjust parameters?

I feel like I saw a tutorial on YouTube covering this very thing recently though, for the life of me, I've not been able to locate it.

Any/all feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Thank you for using DropBox.

Yes, I'm on Mac here, and the Create Selection Object is not even in the Command Manager.

I have filed a report.

My best wishes.

As a point of reference, I'm on a Windows-based machine, also running Cinema 4D 2023 2.1.

I've attached a screen recording, not sure if it's helpful or not, but thought I'd pass along anyway.

Great that this is working for you.

I checked here with 2023.2.1, and it doesn't work, which makes me wonder what the difference is.

I have set up several objects, put a Cloth Tag on each, and the option to create a Selection object is grayed out.

I'm curious about when it works and does not since I asked for that option a long time ago.

Thanks for the feedback.

I am pleased to report, however, that when I selected only the simulation tags of my cloth objects, a Selection Object was created without the need of a null, or other object!

Select all the Tags, but also select something else, a Null Object. Tags by themselves are not able to produce a Selection Object.
Then go to
Main Menu> Select> Selection Filter> Create Selection Object.

This produces a new Object in the Object manager. Click on it.
In the Attribute Manager> Object, you will find a list. Delete that Null object from the list.

It should now work as you like to.

Restore Selection, and all parameters are provided from all Cloth Tags.

Scroll down to
Expanded Formula Entry by Multiple Selections, here: x, num, tot

Enjoy
