hey guys and girls,

Is there a way to enter a disk path in the pointsop instance value to load .bgeo geometry as instance???

I have a cache on disk which look like( piece.1.bgeo, piece.2.bgeo, piece.3.geo …etc) and I want to get these file cache as my instance in the pointsop. Is it possible?

Thanks

Inside your point instance set up you can use a attribute create with the instancefile() and then the path to your geometry.

sorry I'm not sure if I understand well…

Where do I use the instancefile():

- do I create it with an attribcreate and name it instancefile() or it the value that I name instancefile()?

Or I set it in the point sop - add instance - at the place where I load the geo?

thanks

Hi

Look at this thread it should give you a full overview with lots of examples

Thx Rob!

I just found this thread will searching with google for instancefile.

I'll have a look at it and try to demistify this.

One last question that I think is not mention in the thread. Do you think rbd point object will work using the attribute instancefile? Or I'll have to find an other solution?

Have a nice weekend !

very possible < you dont do it in dops but in SOPs reading the geometry off disk , all you would need is an attribute to tie a point and its matching chunk together

Rob

thanks Rob,

I'll work on this today
