Hi Paul,

Just a thought....
When having a model with a lot of meshes it is very hard to find the right Surface Mesh name,
because it is not alphabetical and because there might be hundred(S) MESHES.
It would be helpful if it on alphabet and/or if it possible to exclude a meshname
(i.e. the standard name 'Mesh-001').

greetings, Jeroen

Jeroen - if names like "Mesh-***" are excluded, you would need to change the name of the mesh prior to using it to scatter, which may be inconvenient. But ordering alphabetically should be doable. I will do this in the next version.

Hi Paul,
I agree. On alphabet should do it. Thanx.
I would suggest to users to name meshes to be used for scattering starting with A to L... This way all the standard Mesnames are below in the scroll ;)
