Hi, This is one SOLUTION of the problem: // List all objects in the scene string $allObjects[]; string $tempName; $allObjects = `ls -g`; optionMenuGrp -label "Objects"; for ($tempName in $allObjects) { menuItem -label $tempName; } It seemed to work for me, thanks for help. If anyone knows how to select an object in the scene depending on which one is selected from this please write a post. I think I will have to use the select command in combination with the changeCommand flag for the optionMenuGrp, but I am not sure. /veronica
