Cache Surface Node

[prashantcgi]

HI All!

Sorry if its a repetitive Question.

I have a lots geometry at Object level, and Each one of these Geometry have a cache node inside the the end of Hierarchy.

For Clearing cache from all geometries, i have to go inside each geometry and click on the clear cache button.

My question is I want to create a master control at the OBJ level and want to add all the button of each cache node here

Is there a easy way to do thi .

I tried drag and drop from cache node clear buttonto the edit parameter interface of Null at Obj level.

Bu ti got this error

"problem while creating some requested parameters

Node is Outside the subnet /obj/geo1/cache1/clear"

Please help!!!!

Thanks to all odforce members!!!!!!!!

You could create a shelf button to clear any cache nodes in the currently selected geometry using Python. That way you don't have to set it up for each geometry object you want to clear. Create a new shelf tool and put the following in to the 'script' section.

import hou

myNode = hou.selectedNodes()

for sop in myNode:

for node in sop.children():

if node.type().name() == 'cache':

node.parm('clear').pressButton()

note, each indent is a 'tab'. For some reason the formatting got a little messed up!
