How to check if an render setup layer override is applied to object X?

I need to parse all layers and check if an attribute of some objects is set-

As layer overrides can change these values, I need to parse all layers if the override is applied.

So far I have this code to get a list of overrides of all layers:

rs = renderSetup.instance()
rLayers = rs.getRenderLayers()

for layer in rLayers:

    colList= layer.getCollections()
    for col in colList:
      overrides=col.getOverrides()

for oride in overrides:

print("override applied to attribute "+oride.attributeName())

But now I need to know if my object is in that layer collection.

I know from the UI interface that you can add objects by its absolute name or by a filter like *myobj*.

But how do I get this information via script?

Hi,

For testing if the object is in a layer you could try renderLayerMembers command like below:

renderLayerMembers "myCylinder" -notIn true -renderLayers "MyRenderSetupLayer"

For collections in renderLayer, I am afraid you'll need to test them yourself. You could get a collection's selector with col.getSelector().

A simpleSelector could get its selection with selection() and it has an iterator path.
