Re: SetValue question...
Never mind... found it. I found that SetValue expects strings for its arguments, so changing cName to: cName = str(c)+.Name did the trick.

I'm trying to write my first SI script (using Python)... and I actually got kinda lucky, because I found what I need already scripted (ah, the joys of Googleland). I need to create a cluster per each selected polygon on an object, and then constraint Nulls to these clusters. This script works perfectly... http://xsisupport.com/2012/03/17/python-example-constraining-nulls-to-components/ I'm now trying to extend the script snippet to be a little more friendly to my needs. The first thing I'd like to do is specify the name for the clusters created. So, I modified the loop to read like this... for i in si.Selection(0).SubElements: c = o.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.AddCluster( clusterType, , [i] ) cName = c.Name si.SetValue(cName, Test, ) n = si.ActiveSceneRoot.AddNull() n.Kinematics.AddConstraint( ObjectToCluster, c ) ... but SI is barfing on the SetValue line. It claims that the parameter is incorrect. I know the problem is in the cName reference I'm using, but I can't figure out how I need to feed it properly. I know that cName's type is 'instance', so I'm not sure how to reference it correctly. If anyone has any pointers into how to get this working right, I'll be quite grateful.

SetValue question...
Okay. I'm trying to write my first SI script (using Python)... and I actually got kinda lucky, because I found what I need already scripted (ah, the joys of Googleland). I need to create a cluster per each selected polygon on an object, and then constraint Nulls to these clusters. This script works perfectly... http://xsisupport.com/2012/03/17/python-example-constraining-nulls-to-components/ I'm now trying to extend the script snippet to be a little more friendly to my needs. The first thing I'd like to do is specify the name for the clusters created. So, I modified the loop to read like this... for i in si.Selection(0).SubElements: c = o.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.AddCluster( clusterType, , [i] ) cName = c.Name si.SetValue(cName, Test, ) n = si.ActiveSceneRoot.AddNull() n.Kinematics.AddConstraint( ObjectToCluster, c ) ... but SI is barfing on the SetValue line. It claims that the parameter is incorrect. I know the problem is in the cName reference I'm using, but I can't figure out how I need to feed it properly.

Re: SetValue question...
Avoid SetValue() when possible. Use the object model instead: c.Name = Test On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 3:43 PM, Sergio Mucino sergio.muc...@modusfx.comwrote: Never mind... found it. I found that SetValue expects strings for its arguments, so changing cName to: cName = str(c)+.Name did the trick.

RE: SetValue question...
SetValue() and the accompanying GetValue() are commands. Commands essentially
work from scratch every time they are invoked.
When using SetValue() to set the name of the cluster in your example,
SetValue() needs to parse the string of the cluster name and the '.Name'
parameter, then search the entire scene graph to see if that parameter exists.
If so, set the value as specified in your arguments (test). Actions performed
by commands are logged in the script editor and often invoke events or other
validations of the application before the task(s) are allowed to be performed
or completed. While functional and flexible, you can imagine this loop of
having to re-parse the entire scene graph to set a value can be rather
inefficient. Enter the Scripting object model.
The scripting object model is similar to working with a DOM in a web browser or
other application where the graph is exposed for direct manipulation. The
methodology of working in the object model is to get a reference to an object
(node) in the graph, then use the object's available methods and properties to
do work. Because you have a reference to an existing object, you don't have to
explicitly get names of things you want to manipulate. You can work in more
generic and abstracted terms to make your code more universal and bulletproof.
Although you'll often have to write more code to do the same work in the
scripting object model compared to commands, your code will be significantly
more efficient as it doesn't have re-parse the scene graph for every operation
you want to carry out, nor will it trigger many of the validations and events.
Actions performed using the object model are also not logged, so that overhead
is eliminated as well.
Rewriting your code using the scripting object model would look something like
the example below (Jscript). I added 'a lot' of verbosity and error checking
for learning purposes, so don't let the size of the code scare you away. The
name of the game is to get a reference to an object in the scene graph
(provided by the selection in this case), then traverse that graph using the
obtained object's properties and methods until you get what you want. Notice I
didn't use any commands in the entire code snippet. If you remove the
LogMessage() statements and run this on a large polygon selection you'll find
it runs much faster than anything using SetValue().
for ( var i = 0; i Selection.Count; i++ ) {
var oItem = Selection(i);
if ( oItem.IsClassOf( siCollectionItemID ) ) {
// selected item is a collection item (eg; a
subset of something)
var oSubComponent = oItem.SubComponent;
var oObject =
oSubComponent.Parent3DObject;
// debug
LogMessage(
Object: +
oObject.FullName +
\n Object Type: +
oObject.Type +
\n Object Class: +
Application.ClassName( oObject ) +
\n SubComponent Type: +
oSubComponent.Type +

siComment
);
if ( oSubComponent.Type == polySubComponent )
{
// subcomponent type is polygon
var oPolygons =
oSubComponent.ComponentCollection;
var oGeometry =
oObject.ActivePrimitive.Geometry;
// debug
LogMessage(
NbPolygons: + oPolygons.Count, siComment );

oPolygons.Count; j++ ) {
var oPolygon =
oPolygons(j);

Unfortunately, not everything is exposed in the scripting object model.
On some rare occasions you have to bite the bullet and use commands.
