As a result I need the path of that object and then add the Camera name to the expression. I’ve been completely unable to retrieve the Model and object path which is necessary to make this work. This is the expression: SetExpr("GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface.kine.global.sclx", " GlowSphere. MyProperty12.Size * ctr_dist(GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface, Camera. )", null); Camera needs to be replaced with param as in, but the GlowSphere (Model) name may be different and needs to be acquired prior to editing and included in the edit SetExpr("GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface.kine.global.sclx", " GlowSphere. MyProperty12.Size * ctr_dist(GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface,”+param+” . )", null); The PPG belongs to the Model but I’ve been unable to extract the Model as a Parent to the page.

I’ve got the button and entry line set up in the property page but it’s been so long since I’ve done anything like this I can’t seem to remember how to force the expression rewrite through the property page’s code.

Type in the name of the camera in the text area, have a button next to it to run the script to do a find and replace in the expression. Eric T. On 2/9/2015 11:07 AM, Ponthieux, Joseph G.

I’d like to have that reference point to a Custom Pset parameter where I can provide the name of the Camera in the parameter. I tried this with the Camera name as Text, but it doesn’t work. Apparently it can’t resolve the object name that way. There will be multiple expressions, each pointing to the same Camera, I wanted to make this easy to edit the Camera name and have it propagate to all the expressions.
