Synopsis

listSets( [object] , [allSets=boolean], [extendToShape=boolean], [object=name], [type=uint])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

listSets is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

The listSets command is used to get a list of all the sets an object belongs to. To get sets of a specific type for an object use the type flag as well. To get a list of all sets in the scene then don't use an object in the command line but use one of the flags instead.

Return value

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Get a list of all the sets which `nurbsSphere1` belongs to:
cmds.listSets( object='nurbsSphere1' )
# Get a list of all the deformer sets in the scene:
cmds.listSets( type=2 )
# Get a list of all the rendering sets which `coneShape1` belongs to:
cmds.listSets( type=1, object='coneShape1' )
