Ability to select and modify multiple objects in a scene

Hey Mike

Just to elaborate on this feature:

This is the ability to apply a single setting to a group of similar objects (meshes, materials, etc)

eg: the ability to apply a lightpicker to a group of materials, or the ability to apply a material setting (eg repeat) to a group of materials

The steps i imagine would be:

1) group select objects in one of the panels on the left, using (individual select) or (range select) 2) properties panel will display panel for object type, with all common values (eg x / y / z positions for meshes, textures for materials) displayed. For properties not shared between the group, the property is blank 3) adjust a shared property in the panel by typing a number or selecting a different dropdown value etc 4) for overwriting non-shared properties, set a value for any of the blank properties (eg if the group of meshes selected have different x values, typing a value in the empty x position will write the same value to all selected meshes)

Would really love to see this implemented, just gave myself rsi, changing the material for a 100 or so objects.

multi-selection is partially implemented for some mesh and material properties, but its a lot of work implementing and testing the feature to add extra properties and objects to this way of working. I think that material selection on a mesh would definitely be up there on the priority list
