Take Options ( from Animation menu in Key Editor Window ) not exposed in Python?

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Oct 2016 03:04:08 GMT

Is this property exposed in Python?

It would be very handy when working in multitake scenes...

Does anybody know about this property?

Not sure if it is set in Python, it didn't work correctly in a few version of MotionBuilder.

The setting is per object and should save with the scene so if you select what you want, set it and save as your template you should be set.

Mobu 2017 should be working correctly, anything in 2016 I think is still broken.

3 years later.....got the answer by searching a little bit more.

for other people out there:

just query the object or model's PropertyList.

joe = FBModelCube("joe")

for i in joe.PropertyList: print i.Name, ": " , i

then,

print joe.PropertyList.Find("MultiTake").Data

and you can set this property's data value.

joe.PropertyList.Find("MultiTake").Data = 0
