Handle to Object in Class

[har]

Hi all,

I'm trying to achieve the following:

A custom object ("Device" from 3rd Party Plugin connectCAD) will be placed in a group together with my Marionette object node.

(and some other objects).

What the Marionette node should do then is the following:

- find the object "Device" within that group (there's definitely only one)

- read certain object parameters

- instance a certain symbol based on that information

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do any of these steps

I couldn't find anything useful in the Marionette node or VS function reference.

Maybe someone could point me in the right direction here?

Thanks in advance for any info?

Hi,

This may or may not help but I am working on calling objects from a VW plugin by criteria but so far have only been able to call them in if i convert them to a symbol first.

- read certain object parameters:

try 'Get Record Field' in Records & IFC

I haven't tried the node myself, but it is (under a another name) part of Marissa's Marionette_UseExternalSymbol_MFarrell_2 file.
