Current Network View

[csp]

How can I get the path to current network view/parent node in Python?

 

cheers

I figured it out!

import toolutils
activepane = toolutils.activePane(kwargs)
parent = activepane.pwd().path()

Apparently this code work only from inside self-tool script! When I try to run it though an imported script as part of pyqt interface will not work because of kwargs.

 

EDIT: No worries, I fixed it myself, again! I pass the kwargs as argument to the imported script.

I will continue to correct myself as nobody else willing to contribute

Apparently the script above will give me the parent node of the active Scene View pane which will always be under /obj.

But what I want is the parent node of the active Network View pane. I can't find anything one that.

I don't understand. You can just get the parent of any node you want: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini14.0/hom/hou/Node#parent

The parent node of the active Network View pane

import hou

def activeNetworkPanes():
    desktop = hou.ui.curDesktop()
    panes = desktop.paneTabs()
    network_panes = []
    
    for pane in panes:
        if isinstance(pane, hou.NetworkEditor):
            if pane.isCurrentTab():
                network_panes.append(pane)
        
    return network_panes

root_node = None
selected_nodes = hou.selectedNodes()
network_panes = activeNetworkPanes()

if selected_nodes:
    root_node = selected_nodes[-1].parent()
elif network_panes:
    root_node = network_panes[0].pwd()

import hou

def activeNetworkPanes():
    desktop = hou.ui.curDesktop()
    panes = desktop.paneTabs()
    network_panes = []
    
    for pane in panes:
        if isinstance(pane, hou.NetworkEditor):
            if pane.isCurrentTab():
                network_panes.append(pane)
        
    return network_panes

root_node = None
selected_nodes = hou.selectedNodes()
network_panes = activeNetworkPanes()

if selected_nodes:
    root_node = selected_nodes[-1].parent()
elif network_panes:
    root_node = network_panes[0].pwd()

 

 

Thanks Arthur, thats exactly what I was looking for!
