We've just recently updated to 2.7.20 from 2.6.10. We've been successfully using 2.6.10 with render layers in Maya but upon upgrading our configuration broke due to the unknown -l flag.
The Maya plugin version we were using when we were in Maxwell 2.6.10 was 2.6.23, and upon running running render.exe -r maxwell -help, it is clear that is a section on render layer/object parameters, and there is an -l flag.
Since then, we've updated the Maya plugin to version 2.7.8 in line with updating Maxwell, and running the -help yields only the -sel flag, which doesn't do what we need it to do.
Checking the documentation and there seems to be no reference to these flags as well.
I would just like to ask three things:
1. Have I missed something?
2. If I haven't, what is the latest Maya plugin version that still supported the -l feature?
3. And if this feature was indeed removed, why was this taken off? (That is much a real question as a rhetorical one - as a developer it's a bad trip because I have to write and debug set of breakout tools just to maintain the workflow we already have.)
