this model (Expression Function Reference)

 
 
 

The Function Node this model command in the expression editor inserts the token this_model. at the insertion point in the editing pane. This makes the current model reference itself in the expression. Enter the model's object name after the period.

The "this_model" token is useful when you want to write model-independent expressions, such as for using the same expression on the object with the same name in different models.

Example

this_model.LeftPaw

Refers to either the Fluffy.LeftPaw or Sparky.LeftPaw object depending on the current model (where Fluffy and Sparky are the models).
