Hey there,

I have a scene where I have lots of objects and their child objects too. however, I want to print all parent objects names and their child object names to the .txt file in the proper way using max script.
I tried to print selection by selecting parent first and then Childs but I didn’t get it in proper manner and that also printed position and transformation data which I don’t need.

Expected text file printing Format:

( local outputFileName = @"C:\TMP\output.json" local json = python.import "json" local py = python.import "builtins" local outputFile = createFile outputFileName local output = py.dict #() for obj in objects where obj.children.count > 0 or obj.parent == undefined do output[obj.name] = py.list (for c in obj.children collect c.name) format (json.dumps output) to:outputFile close outputFile )

If you're on max 2020 or earlier, you'd use python.import "__builtin__" instead of python.import "builtins".
