maya: simultaneous on/off Render Element flags in Render settings?

[rgbaz]

Hello,

Is there a way to flag on/off several selected Render Elements at once in the Render Settings window?
Like shift+select+Y/N or similar?

I noticed that the "Attribute Spreadsheet Editor" can be used to flag Render Elements on/off en masse.
Does anyone know the mel/python syntax to select Render Elements?


Thanks,

s

two ways to do that through mel:
for all render elements on/off

string $phx[]= `ls -type VRayRenderElement`;

int $num = size ($phx);

for ( $i=0; $i<$num; ++$i )
{



catchQuiet (`setAttr ( $phx[$i] + ".enabled" ) 0`);




};

and for selected would be:

string $phx[]= `ls -sl`;

int $num = size ($phx);

for ( $i=0; $i<$num; ++$i )
{



catchQuiet (`setAttr ( $phx[$i] + ".enabled" ) 0`);




};

you can also add a line before setAttr to do editrenderlayeradjustement to do layer overrides

Hey Dmitry,

I ended up doing this, which allows me to toggle several elements at once in the AttrSpreadSheet window.

string $vRayElem[]= `ls -type VRayRenderElement`;
select -r $vRayElem;
SpreadSheetEditor;

Super thanks,

s.
