InsertObject for multiple selections

Feature Requests Studio Features

Something small but really useful that I’d like to see added to the studio is the possibility to insert a certain object into multiple instances at once. For example, right now I have to select each part individually in order to insert a CylinderMesh into my Parts. If you try to use the ‘Insert Object’ instead button when you have multiple Instances selected, you get the following error:

The ‘Basic Objects’ window is also emptied with multiple selections which indicates that this suggestion is or used to be undesired behaviour. I’d be great though if we were able to insert a CylinderMesh or other objects in all of those instances at once as it makes the building process easier.

I know this might cause some issues if you have multiple selections of different instance types, but in that case it could be made so the object is only inserted into the selected instances with a ClassName equal to the first instance that was selected.

Also, my apologies if this is already implemented in the RibbonBar. I’m still using SystemMenu.

It’s not, and I’ll second this for being something that would be really great to have in studio.

Every time I run into this issue I’m always surprised that this solution is not in place.

Wow, it’s been so many years and nothing has changed. This feature should be useful so that you can add new objects at the same time and even modify them at the same time when you created them. It’s like: Added to the selected Instance and immediately modified.

Right now there is only the ability to copy an Instance and paste it into the selected objects. That’s why InsertObject would be useful as I described above and as the author of this post described.
I hope at least this opportunity will appear in the near future.
