Thanks for the explanation, Chad. I was following the tutorial and I was totally confused. There's a few examples like: cam = ls(type='camera')[0] parent = cam.getParent() trans = parent.getTranslation() # <--- trans # Result: dt.Vector([28.0, 21.0, 28.0])
where I was trying to get dt.Vector and I was thinking there was a problem in my installation or something wrong. Thanks again, miguel.
