Hi, V4 If I select an object and wish to then have all objects on that objects layer also get selected, what command will do that ? Steve

This seems like a bug. I also can’t run the following macro in Rhino 8 with a pre-selected object. ! _Select _Pause _NoEcho _SetRedrawOff _SelNone _-SelLayer _Pick _SelPrev _Enter _SetRedrawOn

I have this as a script: SelectAllObjsOnObjLayers.py (253 Bytes) import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs objs=rs.GetObjects("Select objects",preselect=True) if objs: rs.EnableRedraw(False) layers=set() for obj in objs: layers.add(rs.ObjectLayer(obj)) for layer in layers: rs.ObjectsByLayer(…

Suddenly it worked again and I finally understood why after a few tests. If the layer of the selected object(s) is or are in a folder that is not expanded, the command won’t work at all… but if on the layer panel you expand it, select an object and do sellayer it works! (I don’t know what changed a…

Hi Quentin - [image] Quentandr: If the layer of the selected object(s) is or are in a folder that is not expanded, the command won’t work at all… [2024-01-17 - SelLayer] Are you doing something differently than what I’m doing here? -wim

Hello, Sure, here is a new rhino8 file with only a few curves in it. The curves are on layer 04 that is in the collapsed layer 02 : Curves_sellayer.3dm (66.1 KB) Still the same problem occurs with the sellayer command. And here is my SystemInfo : Rhino 8 SR2 2023-12-12 (Rhino 8, 8.2.23346.13001…

If I run the SelLayer command on your file here in V8 (8.4SRC) and chose Layer 04 in the list, all the curves select. Maybe try updating to the current Service Release Candidate and see if that helps?

OK, I manually updated to 8.3. (Everything’s greyed out in the update tab in settings.) Now sellayer command works again with preselected objects without moving the mouse ! Thanks a lot ! Sorry that it was just about an update… :sweat:

What command select all objects on layer the selected object is on?
