Multiple selected nodes to /obj/geo/object merge June 30, 2019, 12:06 p.m.

thanks

i was impatient and got help from a colleague…
that code works as a shelf tool. any idea how it could work on a button referencing itself into a geo container?

for each selection:

import hou
selected = hou.selectedNodes()
root = hou.node("/obj")
for node in selected:
        merge_name = node.parent().name() + "_" + node.name()
        container = root.createNode("geo", merge_name + "_extracted")
        merge = container.createNode("object_merge", "objm--" + merge_name)
        merge.parm("objpath1").set(node.path())
        merge.parm("xformtype").set("local")
        container.moveToGoodPosition()

each selection into one geo container:

import hou
selected = hou.selectedNodes()
root = hou.node("/obj")
container = root.createNode("geo", "extracted")
merge = container.createNode("object_merge", "objm--")
merge.parm("numobj").set(0)
merge.parm("xformtype").set("local")
for node in selected:
    i = merge.evalParm("numobj") + 1
    current_path = ("objpath"+str(i))
    merge.parm("numobj").set(i)
    merge.parm(current_path).set(node.path())
