python Get prim attribute value via python

[Sari_Y]

Hi. Guys. 

I'm stuck python scripts. How to get "name" attribute value at prim via python? I would replace the Null name with it.
Python scripts is new to me. I'm not sure error meaning.

Please give me some advice. Thanks!

Hi Saori, we have to reference the node`s Geometry, not the node itself. Try this:

geo = hou.node("/obj/GEO_model/null1").geometry()
geo.attribValue("name")

Or, this is the same:

node = hou.node("/obj/GEO_model/null1")
geo = node.geometry()
geo.attribValue("name")

Hi Saori-san, 

You need to access the geometry on your hou.Node instance. For example:

hou.node("/obj/GEO_model/null1").geometry().attribValue("name")

also since you are trying to access prim attribute value you need to get a single prim first

hou.node("/obj/GEO_model/null1").geometry().iterPrims()[0].attribValue("name")

cool! I got it. Thanks for your time guys!

null         = hou.node("/obj/GEO_model/null1")
nullname = null.geometry().iterPrims()[0].attribValue('name')
null.setName(nullname)
