As a bit of an aside, I wish cmds.listConnections had an option to return connections in source/destination pairs or ordering like pymel does. Is there a better way to handle disconnecting attributes with an unknown direction than querying twice like so?
for attr in attrs: src_conns = cmds.listConnections(attr, d=False, p=True) or [] for conn in src_conns: cmds.disconnectAttr(conn, attr) dst_conns = cmds.listConnections(attr, s=False, p=True) or [] for conn in dst_conns: cmds.disconnectAttr(attr, conn) On Tuesday, December 11, 2012 9:05:46 AM UTC-8, Justin Israel wrote: > If you have a list of material attributes like this: > > mats = ['material1.color', 'material2.color'] > > > Then you can loop over it and disconnect like this: > > > for mat in mats: > conns = cmds.listConnections(mat, p=True) or [] > for conn in conns: > cmds.disconnectAttr(conn, mat) > > > If I missed your question, can you post an example of what you have so far so > I can see what is not working? > > > > > > > > On Dec 11, 2012, at 5:51 AM, Daz wrote: > > Heya > > Right, that do gives me what I want thanks !
