Hello,
is there a convenient way to get all objects with a specific name or do I have to traverse the scene graph "manually"?
In my specific case I try to get the first camera with a given name.
Cheers.

Is this the way to go? Or has the SDK something ready to use?
Cheers.

Maybe BaseDocument::SearchObject(...) ?

If you only need the first object with a specific name, BaseDocument::SearchObject() will work. Just check the type returned afterwards. The problem that I can see here is that if there is another object before the camera with the same name, this will always fail.
I tend to write my own little recursive routines for this type of thing. To save stack, a loop for GetNext() is best:
