isolate sub parts when getting shapes in a layout

MorrisDH

I use the following to get a list of shapes on a specific layer in a layout

thisLayerShapes = setof(shapes geGetEditCellView()~>shapes shapes~>lpp == list("thisLayer" "drawing"))

It appears that geGetEditCellView()~>shapes includes all shapes on "thisLayer" that are sub parts of a multi-part path.

Is there a way to filter out all multi-part path sub parts?

    There's this older post covering the same thing and giving a suggestion.

    That looks kind of messy - but doable.

    Thanks,
