How to rename an object in the scene?

[jfwfreo]

Can someone tell me how (via C++) I can find an object in the scene with a specific name and change its name to something else?

is this the only problem with the c++ and MAX sdk you have?  😁 

Sorry, but I don't understand such questions... You are going to write something in c++ and MAX sdk, but a simple thing in terms of future complexity already raises problems and questions.
Maybe you should start with something simpler?

I can answer your question, but you answer mine first.

ask ChatGPT this question... it doesn't care, and by the way, it answered it pretty well.

it answered it pretty well.

it is only two functions one to find the node and one to rename it 😉

INode* node = ip->GetINodeByName(_T("Box001"));  
if(node) 
	node->SetName(_T("Cube001"));

but keep in mind that node names are not unique..
