I cannot use scale as a flag, it's tossing a error* > 'No flag name 'scale'.* > If not all of those commands support a "scale" argument, then you won't be able to do it that way. You would have to have another way to switch on the type to return a function that can apply a scale. Do you just mean scaling via cmds.xform() ? That should work with any of the objects. > > If it's also not too much to ask can I confirm the logic of those lines? > I am assigning fn to the dictonary and then calling it as a function with > the properties of Xform on the 'shape'? > You are assigning fn to be a reference to a function, which was stored as a value in your dictionary. You looked up that value by a primitive type. You then call that callable, which is stored in the variable "fn", and split the two item tuple that is returned into two variables. "xform" contains the transform of the new object, and "shape" contains the shape. Then you call that callable stored in "fn" again, passing it the shape and some other arguments. > > Thanks again man! > > > On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 1:54 PM, Justin Israel <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > On Wed, Nov 23, 2016 at 10:21 AM Wesley Keeling <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Justin to the rescue again!
