Deleting All Layers

[RevitGary]

I dont know where they are coming from. Maybe objects I grab off the web. They are not coming from my autocad file. I have many many layers in my max file. Is there a way to get rid of ALL layers? This sure would make things a lot easier

 

Thanks!!

I often use a script that deletes all empty layers. You could simply create a layer that contains you entourage, and then use the script\pt to delete the empty ones. I think this is the one I use, though I will have to double check when I get to the office.

OK I would like to get rid of ALL layers. If an object is on a layer make it go to "0" maybe.

just select all the objects in your scene select layer "0" and click on the plus sign in the layer panel.

 

note: that you'll have to open any groups to get their objects to move layers.

 

Then just select all the extra layers and delete them.

From a work flow standpoint I would recommend putting all of your entourage on a layer other than 0. I typically have layers called, "+ Entourage" "+ Dosch Cars" "+ Trees" "+ Evergreens" etc... These are my entourage layers. Adding the plus in front of the name keep them above layer 0 in the layer manager, therefore seperating them from the site and architectural elelments of the project.

 

But yes, I misunderstood your original question.
