Ian, not sure version you're on, but if I switch to materials mode in an explorer and right click over it, I see no option to select objects with this material...
Sebastien,
I put this together which does what you're looking for.
It's based on a selected material, finds all objects using the material, and makes a group out of them for easy perusal.. mix and matching commands with OM.. dirty, but it works.. I'd like to know though, if I'm missing something thats offered directly within XSI based on the contents of Ian's mail..
note: no serious error checking is built in..
<snip>
var oSel = selection;
var oName = oSel(0).name;
var oTemp = oSel(0).owners;
deselectAll();
creategroup(oName + "Users", null, null);
for(var i = 0; i < oTemp.count; i++)
{
if(oTemp(i).type != "library_source")
{
addtogroup (oName + "Users", oTemp(i));
}
}
</snip>
