HI All,

I am importing a bunch of DAE files and they come in as a file inside geo that is inside subnetwork that is inside a subnetwork. This makes the selection tool work incorrectly. There is no way to select the object, with one click in the viewport. Sure I can select the node in the network window.

What I would prefer is to simply have all the mesh data from the DAE in a single GEO node.

I am wondering how to cut/copy all the children nodes from the bottom of the subnetwork into another fresh top level GEO node?

Does anyone have any python code preform such a task?

I'm not sure if this helps in what you're actually trying to achieve in the end, but in similar-sounding situations I've used Object Merge nodes with a “*/*/*/file1” style pattern to collapse a lot of stuff into a single bgeo.

I considered the object merge and may still go that route, however, I want to use all the objects in a FLIP RBD sim and I wonder how efficient that would be and if it might introduce solving anomalies.

In essence I really just want to re-write the existing nodes paths into another parent.
