FolderParmTemplate from FolderSetParmTemplate

[animknight]

Hey guys 

I have a multiparm block and few folders inside the multiparm block. I'm trying to find all the parameters in a folder inside this multiparm block using python. But when I try to access it, I could just get folderset and not folder parms and also it seems I cannot get my folder parm from the folder set. Is there a way I can get my folder parm template from the folder set parm template ? or Is there a better way to do this ? Any help on this regard is highly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Hello,

 

I had the same problem and haven´t found the most logical solution.

 

One way would be using "parmTemplates" method to get the parm templates inside the folder. This is a tuple, so, if u know the order of your parm or folder in this tuple, just access that. If it´s another folder, just use the method again until u reach the parm level.

Since I make lot´s of changes in the parameters orders until I finish the tool, this way was kind of problematic.

 

And since I didn´t found a way to create a node selector parm template with restrictions (like selecting only cameras), I went another way.

I manually created a hidden parm in the location I wanted, with it´s parms and restrictions already done. Then, I used it as a reference to create other parameters, just unhided them. And since I can use "createAfter" method, I just created the other parameters after this hidden one.

 

sorry for the terrible english! I hope it makes sense!

Hey,

 

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. I ended up using the parmTemplates method to access the folder parmTemplates and get all parmTemplates inside this folder. Anyways thanks. But I didn't get your approach for creating node selector parmTemplates. Which 'createAfter' method did you use ? Can you give me an example if possible ?
