I ran a small test that creates a parameter to a node that is already in the tree. I've used Python Source Editor from inside the Houdini File.
It works as expected.
However, when trying the same using command line to add the parameter to the node that is already in the tree, I get an error. Looks like I can't access the nodes that area inside the project.
Is there a way to do this or am I doing something wrong?
The command line:
hython "D:\Tori\testaccessfilenode.py" "pointcloud-test.hipnc"The error:Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\Tori\testaccessfilenode.py", line 4, in <module> g = n.parmTemplateGroup() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parmTemplateGroup'
import hou n = hou.node("/obj/box_object1/box1") # get existing list of parameters for the specified node g = n.parmTemplateGroup() # define new float parameter ("id", "Label", components/input fields, default values) p = hou.FloatParmTemplate("myParm", "My Parameter", 3, default_value=[1, 1, 1]) # append the new parameter to the list g.append(p) # apply changes n.setParmTemplateGroup(g)
