Fastest 'By Name' Selection in 3dsmax... I think so...

PathName Values, Pathname Literals ... Looks pretty ugly but is much faster then iterating over scene nodes and comparing names using matchpattern.

someString= "*NodeName*"
select (execute ("$'"+someString+"'"))
select $'*NodeName*'

Also it can be expanded to specific hierarchies, like this... All you need to do is to parse a valid command string and execute it.

$'NodeName 0:NodeName__CTRL'/* as array

MeshWrap

Workmate asked me yesterday to write a script that will helphim to keep
offset between cloth layers in his models.
Here is the script. Nothing fancy and no gui for now.
Will try to update later.

Script wraps mesh woth specified distance and
will try to keep initial shape after wrap is done.
entire script below:

fn WrapMesh _static _dynamic verts:undefined dir:-1 _dist:1.5 _distThreshold:4.5 _keepShape:false = (
 if verts == undefined do verts = getvertselection _dynamic
  for i in verts do (
   _v = getvert _dynamic i
   _n = (getnormal _dynamic i)*dir
   _r = ray _v _n
   _coll = intersectrayex _static _r
   
   if _coll  != undefined do (
    if (distance _coll[1].pos _v) < _distThreshold do (
     _mat = matrixfromnormal _n
     _hitPos = _coll[1].pos 
     _off = [0,0,_dist]
     _offPos = _off * _mat
     _pushPos =  if dir < 0 then (_hitPos - _offPos)  else (_hitPos + _offPos)  
     _shape = _v - _hitPos 
     _shaped =  if dir < 0 then (_pushPos + _shape) else (_pushPos - _shape)
     _trgPos = if _keepShape then _shaped else _pushPos 
     setvert _dynamic i _trgPos 
    )
   )
  )
  update _dynamic 
)

fn PushOutsideDoubled _static _dynamic _dist:.5 _distThreshold:4.5 _keepShape:false= (
 if _dynamic.modifiers.count > 0 do (
  messageBox "Remove or Collapse All Modifiers From Matching Object"
  return False
 )
 undo "Vert Push" on (
  _verts = getVertSelection _dynamic
  if _verts.count == 0 do (
   return false
  )

  meshop.flipNormals _static #{1.._static.numfaces} 
  WrapMesh _static _dynamic verts:_verts dir:1 _dist:_dist _distThreshold:_distThreshold _keepShape:_keepShape
  meshop.flipNormals _static #{1.._static.numfaces} 
  update _dynamic
 )
)
