Removing groups using Python

[Neill]

Hello,

I am trying to create a script that removes all the groups in a given scene. The groups look like this:

Main Group
...Geo Group
...Joint Group
...Null Group

So the Geo, Joint, and Null groups are nested under a Main Group

When I run this script:
======================
from pyfbsdk import *

lScene = FBSystem().Scene
allGroups = lScene.Groups
for group in allGroups:
...print group
...group.FBDelete()
del (group)
====================
The script stops after removing 2 groups. If I run it again, it removes one group. Run it again, and the last group is deleted. Is there any way to just remove all the groups in one pass?

Try something like this

lScene = FBSystem().Scene
allGroups = lScene.Groups
for group in allGroups:
...print group
...group.FBDelete()
...del (group)

Heh. Not quite. That might work for flat hieararchy Groups but nested ones...not so much.

This one works for real.

--------------------------------

from pyfbsdk import *

lScene = FBSystem().Scene

allGroups = lScene.Groups

for i in range(len(allGroups)):

...allGroups[-1].FBDelete()

del ( lScene , allGroups)

--------------------------------
