Hi everybody,
~Long time rhino user, first time scripter~
I am trying to find a python script to assign object names based on the filename of the .step file to be imported. Looks like there are plenty of folks doing something similar with .stl and .obj files, but in my work I import a lot of components from the McMaster-Carr website, always as .step files. The filenames list the McMaster SKU, but when it comes time to place an order, I have to manually “reverse lookup” the specific parts that I downloaded by scrolling through and comparing my model to the long list of available hardware.
When I import 10 versions of a screw to use in an assembly, eliminate 9 of them, and have only one left, I can’t differentiate it from the other step files unless I import them all again and compare.
Surely there must be a way to name things during import!
Thank you in advance for the help.
