BaseOverrideGroup.AddToGroup(self, takeData, node)

Adds node to the Override Group. If node is already part of another group it will be automatically removed first.

Warning

The node to add must be a real scene node. Adding BaseOverride nodes is forbidden.

Note

An undo step is added automatically if the call is added from the main (GUI) thread and global undo is allowed (see TakeData.GetUndoState()/TakeData.SetUndoState()).

Parameters

• takeData (c4d.modules.takesystem.TakeData) – The Take System context.

• node (c4d.BaseList2D) – The node to add.

BaseOverrideGroup.RemoveFromGroup(self, takeData, node)

Removes node from the Override Group.

Note

An undo step is added automatically if the call is added from the main (GUI) thread and global undo is allowed (see TakeData.GetUndoState()/TakeData.SetUndoState()).

Parameters

• takeData (c4d.modules.takesystem.TakeData) – The Take System context.

BaseOverrideGroup.AddTag(self, takeData, type, mat)

Adds a new tag of the given type to the Override Group if it is not already there.

Warning

Only tags registered with the flag TAG_ADDTOTAKEGROUP are accepted by the group.

Note

An undo step is added automatically if the call is added from the main (GUI) thread and global undo is allowed (see TakeData.GetUndoState()/TakeData.SetUndoState()).

Parameters

• takeData (c4d.modules.takesystem.TakeData) – The Take System context.

• type (int) –

  The tag type to be added. If the tag is already in the group the function returns.

  If Ttexture the material can be assigned to mat.
