<\/a><\/p>\nThrough dealing with this I’ve developed a solution:
\nFind and delete said nodes!….. Brutal.<\/p>\n
Now we can find these nodes using<\/p>\n
import maya.cmds as cmds\r\nunknownNodes = cmds.ls(type = 'unknown')\r\nprint unknownNodes <\/pre>\nBut if we try to delete them we get an error “#Error: Node is locked and cannot be deleted.”<\/p>\n
so we need to unlock them with:<\/p>\n
\r\nfor node in unknownNodes:\r\n cmds.lockNode(node, lock = False)\r\n<\/pre>\nthen we can delete them with:<\/p>\n
\r\nfor node in unknownNodes:\r\n cmds.delete(node)\r\n<\/pre>\nNo bringing it all together in one script:<\/p>\n
import maya.cmds as cmds\r\nunknownNodes = cmds.ls(type = 'unknown')\r\nfor node in unknownNodes:\r\n print 'deleting: ' + node\r\n cmds.lockNode(node, lock = False)\r\n cmds.delete(node)\r\n<\/pre>\nAnd there you have it! No longer shall you be plagued by errors on boot up :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I’ve recently found myself working in files with which a co-worker has used a plugin which I don’t have. Said plugin has created nodes which my version of Maya does not recognize, so on load I get the classic error raised : Through dealing with this I’ve developed a solution: Find and delete said nodes!…..
