I read the Simple Shape Tutorial Chapter 8. Exporting Shapes from 3D, to export my Model. But i dont find the "Renumber Selection" Button. Can anyone say me where I find this Button?
Thx for your help

This is found in the DTS Exporter Utility options, which is found in the Utility Command Panel of 3DS Max. Note: By default this utility is not shown on the default list so you will likely need to manually get to it through the "more" option.

It's the tab on the far right

Just wondering, is it necessary to actually click that "renumber selection" button or can I just append a "2" or whatever number after the objects name. Does this button provide any other function beside just adding the string to the object name? It seems like it would just be easier to type it in manually.

@Andres,

Its just really a shortcut which is useful if you have to renumber a lot of shapes that you have selected. As you pointed out its not really 100% necessary to use as you can achieve the exact same thing that tool does by manually changing the names on nodes.

i clicked on the Utilities tab and there is no option for DTS exporter and no options for renumbering so I guess i'm stuck just retyping them.
