It's a two pronged problem.
First, you need to inspect the objects en masse in a multi-PPG.
InspectObj( Selection.GetAsText() );
Second, you need to extract the inspected objects in your custom property PPG
Event code. Here's a snippet from a Parameter_OnChanged() event in a scripted
custom property:
var oInspectedItems = PPG.Inspected;
for ( var i = 0; i < oInspectedItems.Count; i++ ) {
var oInspectedItem = oInspectedItems(i);
oInspectedItem.Parameters( <parameterName> ).value =
<some_value>;
}
Note: there is a bug in some versions of Softimage where multi-selections are
not recognized.

Subject: inspect multiple objects as one by script
When I select multiple objects that contains the same custom parameters and I
click on selection on the right tab and open the ppg of one of them and change
a value, that value gets changed for all selected objects... I want my script
to select multiple objects and launch the ppg with the same logic, i.e. have
one parameter that will change all the values of the selection. I can't figure
out how to inspect that ppg in that specific way. It always opens a list of the
various objects parameters instead of just opening one that will affect all
selection.
What do I need to do in my script to make it inspect all as one like it does
when I use the right tab selection menu.
