Hi,

OK, I’m learning this python thing. I’ve created a parentconstraint, activated and so on, but now i need to get the objects that i want to constrain in there. How do I do that???

here’s what i got so far.

from pyfbsdk import *

def CreateCons (Name, Type, Active):
myManager = FBConstraintManager()
myCons = myManager.TypeCreateConstraint(Type)
myCons.Name = Name
myCons.Active = Active

CreateCons("Test", 3, True)

Using MB 2010

Thanks

In the python docs under FBConstraint class reference. Look at the ReferenceAdd method.

You will need to pass it the group index and the FBModel you want to add.

myCons.ReferenceAdd(0, ChildModel)
myCons.ReferenceAdd(1, ParentObject)

Shameless plug, take a look at my PyMoBu project which easily allows you to get and set these type of constraint settings with ease: http://code.google.com/p/pymobu/

Hope that helps and good luck,
Scott
