on a quick search i found some maybe related thinks:

• Trying to select updated mesh, but get: Object 'Plane' can't be selected because it is not in View Layer 'View Layer'!
• Object not in View Layer error when trying to select a new object in a new scene from a panel.
• Select Hierarchy (Child) error, when object is not on view layer

with linked objects this does not happen. so somehow this seems to be only happening with linked collection / child things...

i have attached the two test files.

should be fixed with #17 - in combination with blender 3.1. - if it contains the vtree branch of the gltf exporter.

@s-light vtree branch will not be on 3.1, but in 3.2

[s-light]

hmm ok! thanks for the heads up.

[s-light]

just tested this - fixed with official blender 3.1.0 and #17

[phil123456]

still have the issue with 3.1.2

Error: Object 'Bridge' can't be selected because it is not in View Layer 'View Layer'!

obj.select_set(obj.type == "MESH")
