Maxwell Render

hi to all.
Actually, to have correct layer naming in lwo (lightwave) files exported by Rhino, the only way i found is by copying the layer's name on to the objects name.
boring procedure:
1) select each meshes by layer
2) copy or type the layer's name on to the objects properties name.
in projects with more as 200 layers it can take a while.
every time the client sends an project update all the procedure again
is there some other way?
Is there some way to fix the lwo exporter?
It is easy to make Rhino scripts?
Some advanced parameters somewhere?
thanks for any idea.

Hi David, try this and let me know if it does what you want:

1. make a new button in a toolbar (hold down CTRL and drag an existing button)
2. hold down SHIFT and right-click the new button to edit its macro
3. in the 'Left mouse button command' text box, paste the following


4. click OK to stop editing the button's macro
5. left-click the new button
6. you will be prompted to select some objects
7. after you do that, the names of the selected objects will be changed to their layer names
