Script equivalent of "Plot All (all Properties)"?

[ZoltanE]

What is the script equivalent of the "Plot All (all Properties)"
menu item?

I checked out quite a few scripts but I only saw examples for
plotting on characters by calling the PlotAnimation() function.

I could iterate through all animated objects and plot each one
but I reckon a more direct solution would be faster.

Populate your list of selected objects...
objs = # your list here
pyfbsdk.FBSystem().CurrentTake.PlotTakeOnObjects( pyfbsdk.FBTime(0,0,0,0), objs )

It tells me 

AttributeError: 'FBTake' object has no attribute 'PlotTakeOnObjects'

I had the same issue when trying to use "PlotAllTakesOnProperties". Only method i could use was "PlotAllTakesOnSelectedProperties".

But then i couldn't manage to get all properties selected with this code :

gplot = FBPlotOptions ()
gplot.PlotPeriod = FBTime(0,0,0,1)

modelList = FBModelList ()
FBGetSelectedModels (modelList, None, True)
for model in modelList:

    propList = model.PropertyList
    for prop in propList:
        prop.Selected = True
        prop.SetFocus(True)
        
FBSystem().CurrentTake.PlotAllTakesOnSelectedProperties(gplot.PlotPeriod)

Neither 

prop.Selected = True

or

prop.SetFocus(True)

worked =/

Ok so my previous code didn't return me any model cause no model were selected, so i replaced it with 

for model in FBSystem().Scene.RootModel.Children:

Now i get all the models i'm interested in but still none of prop.Selected = True or prop.SetFocus(True) works.

And i just found out that i can't use PlotAllTakesOnProperties because this function is not present in motionbuilder 2013 (that i'm using) and i was reading the 2014 motionbuilder documentation =(

Hi,

I've tried this code and it seems to work fine (Mobu 2013 SP2). You don't need to set the focus on the property you want to plot, the selected attribute is enough, SetFocus just highlight the property in the property editor GUI.

from pyfbsdk import *

gplot = FBPlotOptions ()
gplot.PlotPeriod = FBTime(0,0,0,1)

modelList = FBModelList ()
FBGetSelectedModels (modelList, None, True)

for model in modelList:
    propList = model.PropertyList
    for prop in propList:
        prop.Selected = True

FBSystem().CurrentTake.PlotAllTakesOnSelectedProperties(gplot.PlotPeriod)

Cheers

Thank you ! I used another way but your code works too !
