Access node name

[Patrick Janssen]

Hi all,

Thanks for this lib. In SketchUp, if you group entities, then in the dae xml, the node gets a 'name', something like this:

<node id="ID2" name="XXX">

I need to access this name, but I can see anything in the api to do that. e,g,

for g in mesh.geometries:

    print g.id, g.name

But g.name does not return anything...

Any suggestions?

Patrick

Indeed, we're not parsing out the name. If you want to send a patch, you could do it here:

https://github.com/pycollada/pycollada/blob/master/collada/scene.py#L404

To access manually, you can use .xmlnode.get('name')

Hi Jeff, 

Thanks for the quick reply

>To access manually, you can use .xmlnode.get('name')

When I try this

for g in mesh.geometries:
print g.id, g.xmlnode.get('name')

it still returns None

Hi Jeff,

I think I got it now. I was iterating over the wrong things. When I iterate over the nodes in the scene, it works fine.

for n in mesh.scene.nodes[0].children:

    print n.id, n.xmlnode.get('name')

Yep, that looks right. However, you might want to iterate over the bound primitives, not the raw scene info:
