How to find and delete extra UV layers on many objects?












1












$begingroup$


I have a scene with a few thousands objects and part of them, randomly, have 2 or 3 UV sets. I need to keep just the active UV because when exported in fbx they get mixed. Thanks!

          Script



          Removes non active uv layers from all meshes in blend. As with all scripts that remove things, save first.



          import bpy

          for me in bpy.data.meshes:
          uvs = [uv for uv in me.uv_layers
          if uv != me.uv_layers.active]
          while uvs:
          me.uv_layers.remove(uvs.pop())

            Thanks! works great but I realized that "active" means highlighted in the uvmap list but wanted to keep the "active for rendering" one. Can you tell me what to change?

          If you really have thousands of objects than use code. For single use you can delete them under the Object Data Tab in the Properties Panel. Go into edit mode, select your mesh and click on the different UVMaps to figure out which one is empty. Hit the minus button to delete it.
