Hi all,

I want to delete hidden objects via the objecttable using Rhino, python, rhinoscript, and combinations of those.

def RunCommand():
  #all non-light objects that are selected
  object_enumerator_settings = ObjectEnumeratorSettings()
  object_enumerator_settings.NormalObjects = False
  object_enumerator_settings.LockedObjects = True
  object_enumerator_settings.HiddenObjects = True
  selected_objects = doc.Objects.GetObjectList(object_enumerator_settings)
   #Loop through hidden (?) objects?
  for select_object in selected_objects:
   #Delete them
    select_object.Attributes.Visible = True    
    doc.Objects.Delete(select_object)
    select_object.CommitChanges()
      doc.Views.Redraw()
  return Result.Success
 if __name__ == '__main__':
    RunCommand()

This Deletes the objects that i can see in Rhino however if i run the command show the hidden object is still there, can i reverse this? Or am i doing it completely wrong?

Tnx, Eefje

Enclose your code in triple backticks for proper showing in posts: ```some code on multiple lines```

def run_command():
  # comment
  if cool:
    do_something()
  else:
    do_nothing()

End of example.

Here is a version that seems to work:

import scriptcontext as sc
import Rhino.DocObjects as do
import Rhino.Commands as rc

def RunCommand():
	# any object, visible or hidden
	object_enumerator_settings = do.ObjectEnumeratorSettings()
	object_enumerator_settings.ObjectTypeFilter = do.ObjectType.AnyObject
	object_enumerator_settings.HiddenObjects = True

	# this gets any object, visible and hidden
	all_obs = sc.doc.Objects.GetObjectList(object_enumerator_settings)
	
	# pick only those that are hidden
	hidden_objects = [o for o in all_obs if o.Visible==False]

	for hidden_object in hidden_objects:
		# first set the hidden object to visible
		hidden_object.Attributes.Visible = True
		hidden_object.CommitChanges()
		sc.doc.Views.Redraw()
		#then delete
		print "deleting", hidden_object
		sc.doc.Objects.Delete(hidden_object.Id, False)
	
	#done
	sc.doc.Views.Redraw()
	return rc.Result.Success

if __name__ == '__main__':
	RunCommand()

Thanks that worked excellent!

There is version of Delete that takes a toggle to “Ignore Modes” which will also delete Hidden and/or Locked Objects. Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I figured this might help people finding this thread in the future.

import scriptcontext as sc
import Rhino.DocObjects as do
import Rhino.Commands as rc

def RunCommand():
	# any object, visible or hidden
	object_enumerator_settings = do.ObjectEnumeratorSettings()
	object_enumerator_settings.ObjectTypeFilter = do.ObjectType.AnyObject
	object_enumerator_settings.HiddenObjects = True

	# this gets any object, visible and hidden
	all_obs = sc.doc.Objects.GetObjectList(object_enumerator_settings)
	
	# pick only those that are hidden
	hidden_objects = [o for o in all_obs if o.Visible==False]

	for hidden_object in hidden_objects:
		#then delete
		print "deleting", hidden_object
		sc.doc.Objects.Delete(hidden_object.Id, False, True)
	
	#done
	sc.doc.Views.Redraw()
	return rc.Result.Success

if __name__ == '__main__':
	RunCommand()
