Turning of modifier all at once

[Asgaard]

You have to loop through a specified set of Objects. (Selection, the whole scene, Geometry Class, etc.)

If you want to execute a action to all the selected Objects for example you would do this:

for obj in selection do
(
$.symmetry.enabled = false
)

Its a very simple example and lacks of a few things (error handling, check if the modifier is applied , etc...)

this one is a bit better:

for obj in geometry do
(
try
(
if obj.modifiers[#symmetry] != undefined then obj.modifiers[#symmetry].enabled = false
)
catch()
)

It loops through all your geometry objects and checks if a symmetry Modifiers i applied. If so, then it gets disabled. If an error occurs it will be catched and the next Object gets tested.

so long...

That is great!;)

I am going to try that and see how it works.

Thanks

I am sure you meant something like

for obj in selection do
(
try(obj.symmetry.enabled = false)catch()
)

If any of the selected objects does not have symmetry applied, you would get an error you need to catch.

Hello, I tried the scripts, but got the error below.

I used it in listener and also saved as .ms, then
ran it from the file, getting the same error.

am I supposed to declare some kind of function or
some sort before the scripts?

Thank you very much for your help.

Try [Max Script] --> "New Script" --> Paste the code and execute it (CTRL + E)

so long...
