remove shape layers
« on: August 24, 2018, 04:50:28 PM »
My shapes are organized in layers, or, groups. Right-click allows you to remove the layer and its shapes, which is what I want.

How do you do that in python?

or, looking at my code:
Code: [Select]
for i in camgroups:
newchunk = chunk.copy()
newchunk.label = chunk.label+"_group_"+str(i)
# delete the other cameragroups
newchunk.remove(newchunk.camera_groups[i+1:])
newchunk.remove(newchunk.camera_groups[:i])
# delete the other shapegroups (this is the part that does not work)
newchunk.remove(newchunk.shapes.groups[i+1:])
newchunk.remove(newchunk.shapes.groups[:i])

And, please: Why are they called layers in the gui and in Alexeys scripts but groups in the python API?
Many thanks!
Tom

Hello Tom,

You need to remove the shapes from the layer first, then remove the layers.

For example, the following code remove the last shape layer in the chunk:

Code: [Select]
for shape in list(chunk.shapes):
    if shape.group == chunk.shapes.groups[-1]:
        chunk.shapes.remove(shape)
chunk.shapes.remove(chunk.shapes.groups[-1])
