How to turn of render stats on multiple items?

Hi there,

I've just converted some paint effects flame to nurbs but want to turn off cast and receive shadows in the render stats. I don't really want to have to go through 600 pieces turning them off manually and shift selecting the lot and doing it doesn't work. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Select everything you want and then hit down on the keyboard to select the shape nodes (or just select the shape nodes straight away). Then run the following in the script editor.

Code:
for($s in `ls -sl`)
{
	setAttr ($s + ".receiveShadows") 0;
	setAttr ($s + ".castsShadows") 0;
}
