script for assigning objects to current layer

[bandini]

Can't be done in COFFEE. COFFEE just does not have access to the layer manager. You can try py4d or do a c++ plugin.

Don't know if you're aware, but you can right-click on the object and do layer assignments there. Works great when you have a bunch of objects you want to assign to one layer.

This will add selected objects to a selected Layer. But it won't work if the layer is in solo mode.
You'll have to jump out of solo mode to use it.

CallCommand(100004736); // Add object/s to currently selected Layer

Ah, yes... the CallCommand functions would work as expected. But for advanced controls you would need C++ or Py4D. Say, for instance if the layer you want to add to is not the selected layer.

For sketchbook's case CallCommand sounds like a pretty good solution.

You could also throw in the command the unsolo the layer first, then add to layer, then resolo to resolve the problem scott is talking about.

Solo command is 100004726

Thanks all! I'll give this a try
