Installation problems

• Maya is unable to find the Turtle plugin after installation.
• Please confirm that the environment variables MAYA_MODULE_PATH and MAYA_RENDER_DESC_PATH are both pointing to the Turtle etc folder, for example: "C:\Program Files\Turtle for Maya 5.1\etc". Restart Maya and try again.

Removing Turtle nodes

I have finished my eval and uninstalled Turtle. Now I need to get rid of the Turtle nodes in my test files. How do I do that?

The easiest way it to run the mel commands  lockNode -lock off `ls -type unknown`; and   delete `ls -type unknown`; . These commands will first unlock all locked unknown nodes and then delete them. Turtle cannot be loaded when you do this since then the nodes aren't of the "unknown" type. Since these commands deletes all unknown nodes in the scene and aren't undoable, making a backup is strongly advised.
