I'm guessing it's because copying a gizmo to a group effectively imports the contents of the gizmo file. If the gizmo is not installed but loaded on the fly via the "import script" option, Nuke doesn't know where the gizmo file is and therefore can't bring it in as a group.

just guessing though

Thats interesting.

Is there a reason why, or is it just the ways it is?

But thanks, now I know, and they all work fine now.

actually loading a gizmo via "import script" does not make it possible to copy it to a group. It has to be in the plugin path and be called via the plugin menu, tab menu or script command (i.e. hit "x" and enter the name of the gizmo).

    Hmm you should be ok then. As Frank asked - which ones are these?

    I loaded the gizmo via Import Script, and tried to copy it to a
    group with the button on the node tab.

    But I will try and take a look into the gizmo file, maybe that'll
    help.

    thx howard

    If you mean you copy and paste rhem into nuke then You can't copy
    and paste gizmos like this. They need to be loaded. If you are
    loading them then I haven't come across this.

    If its the former then change 'Gizmo' to 'Group' inside the file
    Then you can copy and paste it in.

    Hey guys,

    I downloaded some of the gizmos on nukepedia, and when I try to
    copy them into a group to check the internals, I get a runtime
    error stating

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

    RuntimeError: Constructor for Gizmo failed

    Has this anything to do with nuke version (I tried 6.2v4 and
    6.3v4, no luck) or what is the problem?

    Any insights?

    Thanks,

    ---
