Group inside a Model

[jacobo]

Hi;

I have groups inside a model that I just can't seem to get to. I can get to all the children through Findchildren, but I just can't get the models to be detected through ex: oModel.Findchildren ("Geo*" ,siGroupFamily) or oModel.Findchildren (, ,siGroupType)

What's the most suitable way of getting to Groups to do something with them which are within a model?

Thanx;

AJ

oModel.Groups is a collection

Thanx Eric. Yet, I just can't seem to get what I want done, which is finding a specific Group under a model, accessing its contents and iterating through them and changing their Render subdiv level. Here's the code:

Code: Select all

	set oparent = PPG.Inspected(0).parent.parent
	set oGroup = oParent.Groups
	set GeoGrp = oGroup(10)
	Set GeoGrpChld = GeoGrp.FindChildren( , siPolyMeshType )
	for each oMember in GeoGrpChld
	SetValue oMember&".geomapprox.gapproxmordrsl", 0
	next

It's embarrassingly simple, I know, but I just couldn't find a way around it...

Code: Select all

# Python

parent = PPG.Inspected(0).Parent.Parent
groups = parent.Groups
geoGroup = groups(10) # You can also go groups("groupName")

for eachMember in geoGroups.Members:
    # You should make sure there is a local one first
    eachMember.LocalProperties("Geometry Approximation").Parameters("gapproxmordrsl").Value = 0

Eric, you are so very kind to take the time to help out, I appreciate it so much.

God bless and cheers;

FindChildren finds objects of class X3DObject, and a group is not an X3DObject
