I am creating a script in i want to place a model panel in a grid layout created in QtDesigner.

model panel has to be placed in the red area. I tried

cmds.setParent(self.LAY_grid_modelEditor)
cmds.modelPanel('testEditor', cam='persp')
cmds.setParent('..')

but getting the error

# RuntimeError: setParent: Object '<PySide.QtGui.QGridLayout object at 0x000000A49BF80F88>' not found.

I am using PySide in Maya 2015.

Any Help...

What is the value of self.LAY_grid_modelEditor? Am I assuming correctly that it is a PySide object? If so, the cmds.setParent() call, being the Maya cmds api, is expecting a string path to the Maya UI object.

Maybe my old post on this related topic will help?

See the comments section for PySide specific info.

Thank Justin. I have seen that but didn't look at the comments.
