GetUserText

Scripting
4

This is great Dale, thanks a bunch.

I’m pretty sure the issue was with the list return on GetObjects. I do intend do set this up to iterate through lists of objects eventually, so i want to keep it that way.

calling
getset_material(base_geo[0]) solves the problem.

i think my indent issues are more to do with sucking at forums than python :P.

here’s my new working code. Thanks again.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
   
    
def getset_material(object_id):

    if object_id:
            mat_label = rs.IsUserText(object_id)
            if mat_label != 1:
                value = raw_input("Please set a material for this obect (i.e. hardwood, oak, etc.)")
                key = "Material"
                rs.SetUserText(object_id, key, value)

            else:
                print rs.GetUserText (object_id, "Material")  #returns nothing


base_geo = rs.GetObjects ( message=None, filter=1073741840, group=False, preselect=True, select=True, objects=None, minimum_count=1, maximum_count=1, custom_filter=None )

getset_material(base_geo[0])
