I have no idea how this happened (my dumb ass fault I am sure) - anyway my entire scene has been duplicated within itself. Lights, Objects, Cameras, etc. and so on.

Now if this was 10, even 100 objects I wouldn't be here posting, but this is multiple thousands of objects.

Would there be a way to script the duplicates out?

Wow that's new... :curious:

The easiest way I can think of offhand is selecting your old original objects, inverse the selection, hit delete, and voila? That is provided you can open the scene in the first place and such, but it seems that you can from your description..

I realise I'm not answering your scripting-question here, so if you've tried the classic stuff such as this and scripting really is all that is left to try, then apologies for steering the thread off-topic.

I'm newbie but... i would merge the scene into another new one, selecting the objects you want.... Is not easy...but it works...

The problem was there was about 2000(*2) railroad ties in the scene. I just left those doubled up and manually deleted the duplicates of the railroad cars and other objects in my scene. It was a chore!
