RemoveRefModelResolution

Introduced

v6.0

Description

Removes a resolution to a referenced Model. A referenced model can have an unlimited number of resolutions. Each resolution has a name and a file.

Warning: If you try to remove the active resolution, the command raises an Invalid Argument error. You can activate a different resolution via the "Active Resolution" parameter on the referenced model.

Scripting Syntax

RemoveRefModelResolution( Model, ResolutionName, [Confirm] );

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
Model String The model containing the resolution you want to remove.

Default Value: Current selection

ResolutionName String The name of the resolution.
Confirm Boolean This argument will indicate if you want to get a confirmation message before continuing with the resolution. This can be useful when writing scripts in order to avoid stopping the script.

Default Value: False

Examples

VBScript Example

' 

'	This example illustrates how to add and remove resolutions on a reference model. It also demonstrates

'	how to navigate through the resolution information on a reference model (see the convenience functions

'	at the bottom of the example, especially GetAllResolutions).

'

' Import a referenced model.

NewScene , false

sModelPath =  XSIUtils.BuildPath( Application.InstallationPath(siFactoryPath), _

	"Data", "XSI_SAMPLES", "Models", "ManSkeleton_Basic.emdl" )

ImportModel sModelPath, , true 

' Add a new resolution

set oRefModel = Application.ActiveSceneRoot.Models.Item(0)

AddRefModelResolution oRefModel, "MyRes", sModelPath

' Now remove the original resolution

iTargetRes = GetResolutionIndexByName( oRefModel, "res1" )

if iTargetRes > -1 then

	iCurrentRes = oRefModel.NestedObjects("Active Resolution").Value

	if iCurrentRes = iTargetRes then

		' Change the active resolution to the new one and remove the original

		oRefModel.NestedObjects("Active Resolution").Value = iTargetRes + 1

		RemoveRefModelResolution oRefModel, "res1", true 

	end if

	' Display again the resolutions

	LogResolutions oRefModel 

end if

' Expected results:

' INFO : res0

' INFO :     file =  

' INFO :     name =  Offloaded

' INFO : res1

' INFO :     file =  Models\ManSkeleton_Basic.emdl

' INFO :     name =  res1

' INFO : res2

' INFO :     file =  Models\ManSkeleton_Basic.emdl

' INFO :     name =  MyRes

' INFO : res0

' INFO :     file =  

' INFO :     name =  Offloaded

' INFO : res1

' INFO :     file =  Models\ManSkeleton_Basic.emdl

' INFO :     name =  MyRes

'

'	These are convenience functions that do most of the work of navigating through

'	the resolutions information nested under each reference model. The resolutions 

'	info is never displayed in the UI, but you can think of its structure like so:

'	

'		ReferenceModel (model)

'			- Resolutions (special container)

'				- res0 (compound parameter)

'					- File parameter (eg., "<installationpath>/Data/XSI_SAMPLES/Models/ManSkeleton_Basic.emdl")

'					- Name parameter (eg., "MyRes")

'				+ res1

'				  ...

'				+ resN

'				

'	In order to access this info you need to use the SIObject.NestedObjects property

'	on the ReferenceModel, the Resolutions container, and then each resolution parameter.

'

function GetAllResolutions( in_oRefModel )

	for each oCurrentContainer in in_oRefModel.NestedObjects

		if oCurrentContainer.Name = "Resolutions" then

			set GetAllResolutions = oCurrentContainer.NestedObjects

			exit function

		end if

	next

end function

'

'	Logs the file and name values of each resolution to history

'

sub LogResolutions( in_oRefModel )

	' Visit each resolution and find its name and file info

	set oResolutions = GetAllResolutions( in_oRefModel )

	for each oResolutionParameter in oResolutions 

		Application.LogMessage oResolutionParameter.Name 

		' The file and name parameters are nested under the compound resolution parameter

		for each oResInfoParam in oResolutionParameter.NestedObjects

			Application.LogMessage "    " & oResInfoParam.Name & " =  " & oResInfoParam.Value 

		next

	next

end sub

' 

'	Returns the index number of the resolution given its name

'

function GetResolutionIndexByName( in_oModel, in_sResName )

	' Visit each resolution and check its name against the specified name

	set oResolutions = GetAllResolutions( in_oModel )

	for i=0 to oResolutions.Count

		set oResolutionParameter = oResolutions(i)

		if oResolutionParameter.NestedObjects("name").Value = in_sResName then

			GetResolutionIndexByName = i

			exit function

		end if

	next

	' If not found, return a negative value

	GetResolutionIndexByName = -1

end function
