I was curious about the proper way to delete a layer with python. I know you can get the layer and do layer.Remove() which does delete the layer but it leaves the scene in a weird state sometimes. If I have objects solo'd when I use layer.Remove() it leaves all objects solo'd even though the layer is gone.

Is there a proper way to go about this?

Thanks

Hi,

there's a small note in the Layer Manual in C++ docs that tells the trick.
You basically need to clear the NBIT_SOLO_LAYER on the document, when removing a layer that has solo switched on.
Like so:

import c4d
  
def main() :
    l = op.GetLayerObject(doc)
    if l is None:
        return
    l.Remove()
    doc.ChangeNBit(c4d.NBIT_SOLO_LAYER, c4d.NBITCONTROL_CLEAR)
    c4d.EventAdd()
 
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()
