Object Name Tools


📌 Overview

This plugin offers three lightweight tools for managing object names in Cinema 4D:

  1. Rename Tool: Batch renaming with full control—base name, numbering, find/replace, and hierarchical name transfer.

  2. Trim Long Names: Automatically trims object names to a maximum length and appends ellipsis ("...").

  3. Fix Empty Names: Detects and replaces empty object names with default type names (e.g., "Null", "Cube").

The plugin fully supports automatic language switching (English/Chinese) based on Cinema 4D’s interface language.
