Re: run commands from custom PPG regardless of model name

["guillaume laforge" <guillaume.laforge.3d(at)gmail.com>]

Better like this ...

var oModels = 
Model1.Findchildren("", siModelType,"",false);
if(oModels.count>0)
{
   var Model2 = oModels.item(0);
   InspectObj( Model2+".Your Custom PSet Name" );
}

If your are sure you want the first model under Model1 you could try something like this :

var oModels = Model1.Findchildren("", siModelType,"",false);
if(oModels.count>0)
var Model2 = oModels.item(0);
InspectObj( Model2+".Your Custom PSet Name" );

Ok, one more....how would I inspect a ppg that lies under a model within another model which is being inspected by a ppg under the parent model.  Make sense?  So in other words:

>Model1
    >PPG1
    >Model2
       >PPG2

I want inspect a ppg that lies under Model2 by a button in Model1's PPG.

Hi Kris,

For a self installing pluggin I use something like this :
  
var oCustomProperty = PPG.Inspected.Item(0);
var oModel = oCustomProperty.owners.item(0);

Then your command or function with oModel here.

Cheers

What is the proper syntax in Jscript to run commands within a custom PPG
under a model so that they still function if the model name changes?  I
guess I'm looking for something like "ActiveSceneRoot" but for the
active model or whatever model the PPG is under.
