In maya is it possible to remove all colors sets on selected with a Script ? Thanks

This one isn't great but it works despite the errors it throws. I also never knew color sets could be shared/instanced, kinda neat!

{
// get selected objects and check each for color sets, deleting them if found.
string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;

for ($obj in $sel){
	string $colorSetList[] = `polyColorSet -q -acs`;
	if (size($colorSetList) >1){
		for ($colorSet in $colorSetList){
			polyColorSet -delete;
			}
		}
	if (size($colorSetList) <1){
		print ($obj + " has no color sets." +"\n");
	}
	}
}

Will this work on one object. Seems to only work when I have one or more object selected that has a color set ?

It works on a single object for me. I did notice that the color set editor doesn't immediately detect that sets were deleted, I have to reselect the object for it to refresh.

Got it thanks again

import maya.cmds as mc

import pprint

sel = mc.ls(selection=True)

for x in sel:

    mc.select(x, replace=True)

    color_list = mc.polyColorSet(query=True, allColorSets=True)

    print color_list

    if len(color_list) >= 0:

        for color_x in color_list:

            mc.polyColorSet(delete=True)

mc.select(sel, replace=True)

print "Color Sets deleted"



The color sets seem to only work based per object, so selecting one object at a time and deleting all the color sets, and then rotating that selection to the next object in your original selection and repeating, seems to run with no errors
