colon in path


Recommended Posts

I have an object merge inside a sop solver that is inside an rbd sim. The object merge is pointing to the Geometry in the rbd object from the sim. with:

../..:rbdobject/Geometry

Why does this work with the colon? why isn't it another forward slash. 

../../rbdobject/Geometry

I understand that its pointing at the rbd object which is different than the rbdpackedobject node. What does the : signify?

thanks

I was watching this tutorial and finding out about this on 19:00, went on searching to find further explaination and found this empty thread.

So apparently, this is just the way it is when referencing a DOP network.

fills you with confidence when the tutorial presenter says "I don't know why, that's just how it is" 

the reason for : is simple, you are not referring to the actual DOP node, for that you'd still use / , but you are referring to the DOP data within the dopnet as you see it in Geometry Spreadsheet or as it used to be called Details View
