Hello ,

I work with a own Object and like to automatic pass on the layer to all childs of that object.
the childs of the object are invisible in the tree and it react correct but unexplainable for the user.

Thanks

Hi,

I think, we will need more details. I guess you have an ObjectData generator plugin. Now, which childs are you talking about. The ones generated in GVO() or the childs in the Object Manager?
And then, what is the correct but unexplainable result?

Hi Andreas,

Correct I use an ObjetData plugin. Under that Object is a bunch of Polygone object, lights and other objects - as childs in the Object Manager - for better overview the plugin hide the childs under my object and only show the main object.

by changing the Layer for the Main object - the childs will not be effected from that. But the user can`t see the childs so he expect an other behavior - because the work with the main object.

Thanks

maybe need to make rules for hierarchy or for name of child objects

such primitive

i'm walking through aov of c4dtoa and get only light_group named ops under driver.
i can easy make rules for parent driver and childs like light_group_

import re  
  
def walk(obj) :  
  if not obj: return  
  while obj.GetUp() and not obj.GetNext() :  
      obj = obj.GetUp()  
  return obj.GetNext()  
def initlgs() :  
  obj  = doc.GetFirstObject()  
  while obj:  
      if obj.GetType() == 1030141:  
          ch = obj.GetChildren()  
          lgl = []  
          for i in ch:                  
              if re.findall("light_group_", i.GetName()) :  
                  lgl.append(i)  
          return lgl                  
          break  
      obj = walk(obj)

hmm, i'm hobbyist-coder, but if wrap such to message callback
_messcall = returned_op.SetLayerObject(new layer with turn off op.manager)
if messcall:
return True
_and etc. _
