Batch Rename Layers in Rhino Using Python Script
Problem
When working with multiple layers in Rhino, we often need to batch rename layer names. Especially when layers have parent-child hierarchy structures, we might only want to modify the endpoint layer names rather than the complete hierarchy path.
Solution
Implement layer name batch replacement using Python script. Key points include:
- Use
rs.LayerNames()
to get all layers - Extract endpoint layer name via
split("::")
- Perform text replacement using
replace()
- Rename layers with
rs.RenameLayer()
Core Code
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
def replace_layer_names(old_text, new_text):
layers = rs
