Open a vpb file from a script

leonardo.k — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 19:17:01 GMT

Hey guys, need a little help here.

I have a lot os files sometimes to open, and I wonder if is possible to make a VSET with some script that I can open this files.

I try with getOpen but this way Vred open the File>Open Menu, and I need to open the vpb files direct from script.

Can anyone help me on that?

This works, but the file is open inside the one that I already using, there is a way to close the open file and then open the next one?

Hi,

This should do what you asked, but it sounds like you may need to setup some type of batch process.

import subprocess subprocess.Popen(["C:/Program Files/Autodesk/VREDPro-16.0/bin/WIN64/VREDPro.exe", "C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/VREDPro-16.0/examples/Automotive_Genesis.vpb"]) terminateVred()

There are some batch processing examples here:

You can try using a vrFileIOService.newScene() before to load your file.

or using the V1 Api

vrFileIO.load(filename, filenames, parent, newFile, showImportOptions)

with newfile True should call a newScene() before to load

best
