Hi Jeremy, Almost all nodes in Maya is inherited from some other node; e.g. shape<http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2013/en_us/Nodes/shape.html>inherits dagNode<http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2013/en_us/Nodes/dagNode.html> .
You can query this inheritance using the cmds.nodeType<http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2013/en_us/CommandsPython/nodeType.html>command: from maya import cmds if 'dagNode' in cmds.nodeType('pCubeShape1', inherited=True): print "This is a dag node" On 23 May 2014 05:38, Jeremy YeoKhoo <[email protected]> wrote: > (Sorry I posted this up before but tried to edit it.) > > > Hi guys, > > This is a bit silly.
