Script that can remove imported cameras

[Dion Christensen]

Hello everyone

Problem description:
When importing from CREO Parametric. Keyshot converts all view angles into cameras e.g. FRONT, LEFT, RIGHT and so on.
We have over 8000 parts that I need to make new product images for using Keyshot.

My question now is if there is any one here willing to help me make a python script to remove the cameras in question.
The complete list of cameras that need to be removed is:
BACK
BOTTOM
FRONT
LEFT
RIGHT
TOP
STD

What I have been told is that I need to use a combination of getCameras(...) and removeCamera(...)
I just don't know how to code in python so it would be greatly appreciated if someone would help to solve this problem.

Hey Dion,
I wrote that little script. You can add new lines for the cameras you want to remove.
Hope it helps.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions. Just create a new script and add the code.
We do a bunch of automation in KeyShot.
Best Regards
Philipp

That is a very helpful script for all the Creo KeyShot users.
Thanks for sharing!
