Maybe you can put the command in the abort callback.
But then you must use a switch because the abort is called several times.

Python is showing up in the script editor as an option, python plugins

well, first thing I'd do is to let clear ICE is a platform and not a

We all have it embed into our heads, but many who see soft from another
perspective don't, so I think it's crucial to let them know.
other than that it depends: are you presenting ICE or teaching its basics ?
It doesn't seem like we've been discussing a likely scenario: The
Softimage developers are being tapped for a new 3D application entirely.
Maya is definitely showing its age -- if they try to shoehorn ICE in

Two ideas:
- You could disable the owner of the ICE tree to prevent scene evaluation.
- You could also disconnect the connections from the main execute
node, do the update and then connect them back to the main execute
