Tips 'N' Tricks 'N' You

At any point in the CK click the "-" key to open the Batch Actions window, an example of which can be seen to the right. Anything you have selected in the render window will appear in the white box, and whichever of the selections on the right side will be applied to all the objects selected.

This is useful when you need to do anything en masse, most commonly mass enable parent setting, but setting ownership, or activate refs are also common.

Once you have selected what you want done, just click the "Do" button. 

With any object selected in the Render Window, scroll your mouse wheel while holding ALT to replace the object the previous or next object alphabetically (depending on the direction you scroll).

Finally, there's the classic Search and Replace feature, similar to text documents.

Click CTRL+F in the Render Window to bring up the Search and Replace window. If you have an object selected when you hit CTRL+F it will automatically be entered in the "Search For" field. Set the "Replace With" field to whatever you would like to replace the old object with, and then select one of the three checkboxes at the bottom.

• Current World Only - Replaces every instance of the given object in the worldspace. DO NOT USE THIS.

• Current Cell Only - Will replace every instance of the searched object in the cell that is currently loaded in the Render Window. This can be dangerous, so be careful. Only use this if you are just completely replacing an object in a cell you are working on.

• Selection Only - This is selected by default when the window opens and only replaces instances of the object that are currently selected in the Render Window. Anything not selected is left alone.
