Template and Untemplate MEL Scipt

Here is a little MEL Script I wrote over the holidays. Save it as a Shelf Button. When you click it, it will template anything you have selected or untemplate anything that has already been templated. I find it handy when working on a scene that has lots of objects close together.

I hope it is useful. 

// Version 6 Template Untemplate Script //

//Creates a list of all selected objects//

string $list1[];

$list1 = eval("ls -sl");

//Creates a list of all templated objects//

string $list2[];

$list2 = eval("ls -tm");

//Goes through the list of templated objects and untemplates them//

for ($object2 in $list2)

{

select -r $object2;

toggle -state off -template;

select -cl;

}

//Goes through the list of selected objects and temmplates them//

for ($object1 in $list1)

{ 

select -r $object1;

int $template = eval ("toggle -q -template");

if ( $template == off )

{

toggle -state on -template;

}

else

{

toggle -state off -template;

}

select -cl;

}
