Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Selecting contents of multiple subfolders in outliner

Hi,
I want to select the contents of multiple folders in maya without actually selecting the folders themselves. That is to say, if I have group1 with mesh1 and mesh2 inside and group2 with mesh3 and mesh4 inside, I only want to select mesh1-4 without selecting group 1 and 2. I couldn't find a way to do it and I don't know how to code, so any help would be appreciated. I guess it's also quite a simple code, so if someone is feeling extra kind today, maybe they can save me hours of manual clicking. Thanks in advance.

import maya.cmds as mc

allTransforms = mc.ls(tr=1)
polyMeshes = mc.filterExpand(allTransforms, sm=12)
mc.select(polyMeshes)
