Farfarer / removeSchematicNodesPYAPI.py
Created February 28, 2017 16:32
Ways to remove ALL schematic nodes via the pyAPI and TD SDK in MODO.
#pyAPI version
scene_svc = lx.service.Scene ()
scene = lxu.select.SceneSelection().current()
graph = lx.object.ItemGraph (scene.GraphLookup ('schmItem'))
itemsToRemove = set()
for t in xrange(scene_svc.ItemTypeCount()):
type = scene_svc.ItemTypeByIndex(t)

Farfarer / selectItemCenter.py
Last active March 1, 2017 10:59
Snippet for selecting item centers using the pyAPI in MODO.
def selectItemCenter (item, dropSelection=True):
sel_svc = lxu.service.Selection()
# Find the internal code for "center" selection type.
sel_type_center = sel_svc.LookupType (lx.symbol.sSELTYP_CENTER)
# Set up a selection packet translator for "center" selections.
# This lets us bundle up centers into selection "packets" for passing on to the selection service.
# Or read information about existing selection "packets" that we get from the selection service.
center_pkt_trans = lx.object.CenterPacketTranslation (sel_svc.Allocate (lx.symbol.sSELTYP_CENTER))

class Quantize_Cmd(lxu.command.BasicCommand):
def __init__(self):
lxu.command.BasicCommand.__init__(self)
