update corresponding parameters tab

[JJ FX]

Hi,

So in my script im using hou.Node.setCurrent() for selecting nodes. But I noticed that my parameters tab does not update when I select nodes like that.

How do I update the corresponding parameters tab to the selected node with .setCurrent() ?

Hi! .setSelected() should work?

Does the same as .setCurrent()

Now I have tried this, it should work better?

node = hou.node('/obj/geo1')

parm_pane = hou.ui.curDesktop().paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.Parm)
parm_pane.setCurrentNode(node)

The method setCurrentNode() is not yet documented, but arguments are here:

I think you need to use setCurrentNode() on the network editor

yeah this method is nice as long u use one network and one params tab.

Will dive into setCurrentNode() and PathBasedPaneTab....
