@theoryshaw What use case were you thinking of for this plugin?
Thanks!
Hi, I showed it in the video. :)
Yes I have seen it. I just wonder in which situation one wants to do that?
Let's say you want to tag all the walls in a drawing, but only the walls that are cut by the camera.
If you select all the walls in the scene, and then 'bulk tag' them you'll have wall tags that are tagged to walls beyond the camera cut as well, which clutters the drawing.
This plugin allows you to deselect those walls that are 'beyond' the cut, and only leaves those walls that intersection the camera to be selected.
So when you bulk tag now, it makes for a cleaner drawing, as it's only tagging walls that intersect the camera.
Ah! I see. Thanks!
So this plugin would probably be unnecessary, if there there was a toggle, in Bonsai, where you could just 'Bulk Tag' those selected objects that intersect the camera. :)
Is this something usefull only for bulk tagging or general?
I mean, does it make sense to have a button (where would you fit it in the UI? Maybe as part as the search panel?) that selects all objects intersected by the camera?
There might be, but off the top of my head, i can't think of any other use case, yet. Anyone else?
@theoryshaw I have copied your code in the plugin above with pride ;) and created a PR for that that will have a toggle for the annotation TEXT.

Cheers!
So cool!... left you a comment. :)
Updated as requested: "the user select their own stuff first, and the when 'Filter by Camera' is run, it deselects those objects that don't intersect." Also changed to an operator that does that.
Cheers!
works great! thank you.
It is your code ;)
ha... It's Sam Altman's, sprinkled with a little Musk. ;)
