Heya Tanks for fast reply! Well at the moment I have lets say this http://pastebin.com/v02SZ7Vg Which share 50% of the same code lets call it CODE_A. I have 25x def like that 1 for each material. The issue is that if I want to change the CODE_A and add a check or something like that, I have to go over 25 def and do it 1 by 1. What I would like to have is 1 core code and top that will be called back from each def once I run command. Like this http://pastebin.com/h2TP6Vmm - but this dont work, I dont know why :( I basically want to learn and see if I can write in a way that all code that is sharable or repeatable in many sub functions could possibly referenced rather than preloaded which each function. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
