string type expression question. (additional question added)

[cloudfx]

Hi all,

I had a sphere sop, and group sop which have 2 groups under it.

I had attribcreate sop node under the group sop.

I had

primgrouplist("../sphere1")

to get a list of groups.

It seems like its working fine, but how do I see what is inside of the attribute?

Spreadsheet does not show every attributes.. What does exactly spreadsheet do and how do I see every attributes value or information??

Thanks,

-J

The spreadsheet by default just shows the point attributes.

You need to switch it to primitive attibutes - by clicking the small icon in the upper right corner.

Asuming that your attribute is a primitive attribute ...

[SpencerL]

primgrouplist("../sphere1")

Also, in order to get the group list, you would need to point to the group node

primgrouplist("../group1")

ADDITIONAL QUESTION

When I make a string type prim class attribute such as primgrouplist("../group1"),

it should return a space separated list of all the groups in the sop node, right?

When I open the spreadsheet and look at the primitive attributes.. it just show me "primgrouplist("../group1")", the expression that I wrote..

HELP!

thanks,

-Jae

you need to put your expression between quotes when creating an string attribute.

try `primgrouplist("../group1")`
