Hi, I ended up using the snippet from my previous post. And it seems to work great. Thanks for all input. Here is the snippet for completion of the thread. (Out of curiosity, is it possible to mark your own post as complete ?)
mat = 'VRayMtl1' id = 4 mel.eval('vray addAttributesFromGroup {0} vray_material_id 1;'.format(mat)) mel.eval('vrayAddAttr {0} vrayMaterialId;'.format(mat)) cmds.setAttr (('{0}.vrayMaterialId'.format(mat)), id) Best Regards, Johan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
