If you create a ReadGeo2 and set its 'file' knob all in one shot, you won’t get the dialog popping up; the node will just set itself up to load the first available node in the cache. However, you can then inspect the `scene_view` knob to get the list of available geometry nodes.
n = nuke.createNode('ReadGeo2', 'file {/path/to/cache_file.abc}') Cameras are easier, since the `fbx_node_name` knob will only be populated with the camera nodes from the file. -Nathan From: Johannes Hezer Sent: Monday, October 07, 2013 9:27 AM To: nuke-python@support.thefoundry.co.uk Subject: Re: [Nuke-python] How to set up an alembic ReadGeo node? Hi everyone, I have a geo and three cameras in one alembic file. Any have a plan of action to get this imported via python without seeing the dialog.

For example, if an abc file has 10 nodes in total, you could choose to import only 5 of those, and these would be the only nodes that appear in your Scenegraph tab. In your case, only the first item is being imported. To remedy this, you need to look at the python bindings for the node's scene_view knob (which controls the import/selection from the abc file). You need to do the following: readGeo = nuke.createNode('ReadGeo2', 'file {alembicFile.abc}') sceneView = readGeo['scene_view'] allItems = sceneView.getAllItems() # get a list of all nodes stored in the abc file sceneView.setImportedItems(allItems) # import all items into the ReadGeo node sceneView.setSelectedItems(allItems) # set everything to selected (i.e. visible) Hope that helps! Cheers, Peter.

Wishing to avoid this pop-up dialog, I then tried: nuke.createNode('ReadGeo2', 'file {alembicFile.abc}') This would, indeed avoid the dialog... but it seems the dialog is essential, as the ReadGeo node would not show all the nodes contained in my alembic file (it would only show one of four objects in a hierarchical structure). So... does anyone know what exactly this popup dialog is doing, or how to recreate it's effects without requiring user interaction?
