Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?
couldn't you just select all objects and add a geoapproximation property ? - Ronald On 4/27/2015 12:02, Morten Bartholdy wrote: I have load of objects to which I need to make the geoapproximation local and set it at various values, so I am trying to script it.

Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?
FYI, You can create groups and put GeoApprox properties on them. As long as all meshes don't have local geo approx, they will use the one in the group. May help make things easier / quicker? Eric T.

Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?
You can add a brand new geo approximation property and it will replace the
shared one making it unique.
I don't have softimage on front of me, but it should be something like:
for each in Application.Selection:
each.AddProperty('geomapprox')

Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?
As I do have xsi in front of me here is some dodgy code
for o in Application.Selection:
Application.MakeLocal( str(o) + .geomapprox, siDefaultPropagation)

not sure if that works in the setup you have, but could be worth a shot.

Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?
I get this error:
' ERROR : Expected identifier - [line 1]
I guess a simple syntax thing...

Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?
Did you run it with something other than Python selected in the script
editor? Sounds like it. (I failed to mention that it was python)

Likely simple syntax stuff. I tried inserting the = a couple of places

Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?
My bad - i should have tried Python, it was on VB.
It needs indentation in the 2nd line but works perfectly, thanks! :)
