Creating an ICE tree per mesh

[ionside]

I've created a ICE tree which attaches a null to the minimum and maximum Z axis sides of a mesh. I need to do this to attach multiple meshes together correctly.
I'm a little stumped on how I should do this for all meshes. I have over 200 mesh objects that need their own two Nulls added in these positions.
I'm thinking perhaps using an empty point cloud with an array per mesh, and creating a Null for each point. Honestly I'm not sure how I should do this.

Could anyone please steer me in the right direction?
Should I be doing this in script instead, or a nice mix? I use Python for scripting.

You can make an IceOp out of it and then apply it to all the meshes:

Edit: i just noticed the dropbox link to the "Add ICE Operators to Menu" addon is dead - i'll go look for it on my workstation...

Ok found a better link, pretty sure this is the one:

There's also this script, which applies an ICE compound to multiple objects:

Thanks for that Steve, it's that kind of problem solving i will totally miss!
(just assuming you wont keep doing it for free ;) )

Anyhoo, - i wish you well and please let us know what you get up to in the future!



Sorry to go off-topic but i needed it said!

Oh thanks, Steve. I'll learn quite a bit from both of these scripts. I remember seeing this one now, it would be sitting in my email xsi support folder, back home.
