[Closed] Filling the listbox with all objects under specified layer

Jan 19, 2023 11:44 pm

Hello, I would like to kindly ask for your advice.

how to fill the listbox with all objects under the specified layer. I also mean objects that are in sub-layers of a sub-layers and so on

I tried it like this, but this only takes objects directly below the specified layer

HelperLayer = layermanager.getLayerFromName "HELPERS"
HelperLayer.nodes &nodes
Helpers = for node in nodes collect node.name
lbxHelper.items = for h in Helpers collect h

thanks for your advice

I think the funciton iin this code was posted by denisT on this forum:

(	
	function GetLayerNodes layer list: recurse:on = 
	(
		layer.nodes &nn
		join list nn
		if recurse do for k=1 to layer.getNumChildren() do ( GetLayerNodes (layer.getChild k) list:list recurse:on )
		list
	)
	
	HelperLayer = layermanager.getLayerFromName "HELPERS"
	
	objArr = #()
	GetLayerNodes HelperLayer list:objArr recurse:true	
		
	select objArr
	
)
