Hierarchy to layer

Submitted by charlesm on Sat, 2018-12-08 07:53

Hello,

I'm try to make script that transform a hierarchy like :

dummy01
dummy02
object01
object02
.....
dummy03
object03
.....

to

layerA
layerB
object01
object02
.....
LayerB
object03
.....

don't when I try to put object into layer I've got an error like

-- [stack level: 1]
-- called from o loop; filename: C:\Users\charles\Downloads\hierarchy_to_layer.ms; position: 1630; line: 74
-- Parameters:
-- o: $Dummy:carre @ [-4.860891,11.906838,0.000000]
-- Locals:
-- o: $Dummy:carre @ [-4.860891,11.906838,0.000000]
-- enfant: #($Box:Box002 @ [11.277443,7.361247,0.000000], $Box:Box001 @ [-19.488970,3.360549,0.000000])
-- Externals:
-- collectMyChildren: Global:collectMyChildren : collectMyChildren()
-- layer: Global:layer : undefined
-- owner: undefined
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- [stack level: 2]
-- called from top-level

Here a part of the code

for o in ParentUnique do (
layer = LayerManager.newLayerFromName o.name
enfant = collectMyChildren o includeParent:false as array
-- format "layer:%, enfant:% \n" o.name enfant

for e in enfant where ( superclassof e == GeometryClass ) do (
layer.addnode e
format "layer:%, enfant:% \n" o.name e.name
)
)

"layer.addnode e" seem to cause the error.

Thancks in advance for your help.

Ps : the goal is to organize 3dsmax scene get from fbx file import from rhino.

I have tested the code with a scena that I created(sphere linked to sphere linked to dummy linked to dummy) but there are no problems.
Can you share a scene and the whole code that gives you the error?

Can you show the full code or at least what the collectMyChildren function returns as colletion of objects?

for o in ParentUnique do 
(
	layer = LayerManager.newLayerFromName o.name
	enfant = collectMyChildren o includeParent:false as array
	-- format "layer:%, enfant:% \n" o.name enfant
 
	for e in enfant where ( superclassof e == GeometryClass ) do 
	(
		layer.addnode e
		format "layer:%, enfant:% \n" o.name e.name
	)
)

Here the code for

Here the code for collectMyChildren, I'm not the autor of this part (what why it's seem to be well coded !)

fn collectMyChildren obj includeParent:true =
(
-- start collecting direct children of
myChildren = #(obj)

-- add children and their children etc recursively
i = 0
while i < myChildren.count do
(
i += 1
join myChildren myChildren[i].children
)

-- remove initial object if == false
if not includeParent then deleteitem myChildren 1

-- return array containing children
myChildren
)
