Convert a set of Prim Attributes to Prim Groups

[jonidunno 17]

Happy Friday,

I'm currently working on a project where I need to export alembics assets into C4D. The assets I want to export have embedded Prim attributes that I want to convert to Prim groups in order for the artist to have control of the material selections in C4D.

Currently, I'm splitting all the attributes and converting them to groups manually which is time-consuming and can break. Since I'll be modifying and making adjustments I was wondering if there was a more procedural way of doing this through a wrangle or possibly the partition sop?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey there!

You can create a primitive string attribute with slashes to a create hierarchy in the alembic.

See the attached image of the the Alembic ROP interface. It is set to "path" by default. That and using the "Use Sop Path" setting should get you what you need. Good luck!

Thanks for your response I think I figured out a great solution:

- Dropping a partition sop

- find the attribute name you want, which in my case is named "agentshapesname"

- for the rule say  `@agentshapesname'  and boom groups.

thank you for helping!
