Limit Bake and then break

[Joseph_Oster]

I added a ‘Reset’ input to the Python bake component I wrote three years ago:

'Bake to Layer' component with 'M' (Material) input?

Updated. Now handles groups. Open source Python. [mMaterial_bake_to_layer_pieces_2020Jan30a] mMaterial_2020Jan30a.gh (29.5 KB) mMaterial_bake_to_layer_2020Jan30a.gh (39.5 KB) STEP1_mMaterial_bake_to_layer_2020Jan30a.gh (40.0 KB) STEP2_mMaterial_bake_to_layer_2020Jan30a.gh (16.1 KB) NOTE: The ~5 second benchmark in this video is more than three times longer than the same operation takes when not running the video capture software…? What are blocks? Again, I’d rather not be distracted …

Seems to work, though I’m far from an expert at Python.

# Instantiate/reset persisent "okBake" variable
if "okBake" not in globals() or reset:
    okBake = True

if active and okBake: #change the scriptcontext
    scriptcontext.doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
    try:
        if type(geo) is System.Guid:
            g = ghdoc.Objects.Find(geo)
            if g and hasattr(g, 'Geometry'):
                bakeGeo(g.Geometry, g.Attributes, layer, rM, mSrc)
                okBake = False

P.S. This will cause problems in the way I typically use the Bake component when I use multiple ‘bakes’ for a variety of geometry and layers. Only the first one will work.
