Need small delete script

[raptor235]

Could someone please write a tiny delete script that will erase all display layers that don't have any objects asigned to them. Thanks

why don't you do an optimize scene?

if you open the options box...you can just select 'empty display layers' and it will delete all of these...FILE> OPTIMIZE SCENE SIZE (option box)

yeah, Aken, but he probably doesn't want to click on/off all those options and confirm "OK" every time he wants to purge empty layers...

here's what you want Raptor (only tested on Maya 3.01!):

string $allLayers[]=ls -type displayLayer;
for ($node in $allLayers)
{
string $members[]=editDisplayLayerMembers -query $node;
if (size($members)==0)
{
if (strcmp $node "defaultLayer"!=0)
{
delete $node;
}
}
}
