How to remove an override with python?

Hi

How can I delete an override in a render setup layer with python?

Hi,

You should be able to get the overrides with:

maya.app.renderSetup.model.utils.getOverridesRecursive(layer)

and delete them with:

maya.app.renderSetup.model.override.delete(override)

Yours,

Thanks that worked.

Why are these functions not documented?

E.g. try to search for getOverridesRecursive in the help files  http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2017/ENU/

Do you have any sample code of you using this? 

I cannot seem to get it working if I pass the name of a render layer to:

maya.app.renderSetup.model.utils.getOverridesRecursive(layer)

Never mind - I figured it out:

import maya.app.renderSetup.model.renderSetup as renderSetup
import maya.app.renderSetup.model.utils as utils
import maya.app.renderSetup.model.override as ov

rs = renderSetup.instance()

layers = rs.getRenderLayers()

for layer in layers:
print layer
for i in utils.getOverridesRecursive(layer)

ov.delete(i)
