Quick "Select Children" script

Imago

Someone knows a script to quickly select all the children of a selected bone?

What do you want different from select children in the scene pane?

In some cases it takes a lot of time to select every single child bone, especially if they are many like in the hands.

I just need something that will select all the childs of a selected part, as I said, like the hand. I select the "base" of the hand, run the script and all the fingers, carpals and stuff is selected.

Right click on the bone > Select > Select Children

Edit: I forgot to write that the right click has to be done on the selected bone in the Scene tab.

If you must must really have a script, there is one from mCasual HERE

In Customise you can find "Select Children" under scene view action. You can drag that to existing toolbar or create new one. It will select all children of currently selected object. I have been using this a lot to clear hands bones etc.

Thanks Tomhip, I'll try that.

@ MelaniwL I have that and used it until now, but since a few new DAZ releases it doesn't work correctly anymore. If I use that when selecting stuff on the viewport, it works OK but if I select the prop in the Scene pane it selectes the whole scene's stuff.

@ Elor Yes, I know that... But some times is a bit impratical...

Just tried, it does the very same as MCasual's script. Selects correctly when in viewport, selects all when in the Scene pane.

*edit*

Solved somewhat differently using your suggestion. Thanks!

Ah, I didn't know that - I'm stuck on DS 4.21.0.5 because of my hardware and it works there still (I'm fairly sure)
