Select all by type: Geometry. Equivalent Python script? -

i trying find right code make maya select geometry objects in scene. tried echo command while doing operation , this:

selectallgeometry; select -r `listtransforms -geometry`;

(edit > select type > geometry)

could translate python?

what you're seeing procedure selectallgeometry, , contents:

select -r `listtransforms -geometry`;

that command several parts. part in backquotes:

listtransforms -geometry

is mel procedure. run command help listtransforms see path .mel file. reading that, command actually

listrelatives("-p", "-path", eval("ls", $flags));

the output of argument to:

select -r the_list_of_geometry_transforms

so check out maya's mel , python command reference select, listrelatives, , ls, research how 1 command translates other:

combining together, equivalent mel being called is:

select -r `listrelatives("-p", "-path", eval("ls", $flags))`

and python, be:

from maya import cmds cmds.select(cmds.listrelatives(cmds.ls(geometry=true), p=true, path=true), r=true)

expanded out tad more readable:

from maya import cmds geometry = cmds.ls(geometry=true) transforms = cmds.listrelatives(geometry, p=true, path=true) cmds.select(transforms, r=true)
