looking for the syntax to select all objects in scene.

[Chadrik]

does this get you closer to what you want:


select `ls -dag`;


it's hard to tell from your example, but i'm assuming that the brick objects are shapes or transforms or something like that, which makes them DAG objects, while the other objects that you don't want are not DAG objects.

keep in mind that if you want to get a list of objects, use the ls command with the appropriate flags instead of going through the select command. it is much slower to do this:


select -all;
string $objs[] = `ls -sl`;


than it is to do this:

string $objs[] = `ls`;


but both achieve the same thing.

I'm assuming you want just the geometry in the scene? There are a few ways you can do this, here are a couple...


//This way is quite handy because you can add different types to the ls command.
//In this example I can get all the meshes and nurbsCurves in the scene.
string $getMeshes[] = `ls -dag -ni -type mesh -type nurbsCurves`;
string $getTransform[] = `listRelatives -p $getMeshes`;


//or you can do it this way...
//This is a little more simple in that the geometry tag will grab all geometry within a scene.
//The tags that listTransforms recognises are the same as the ls command.
listTransforms -geometry;
