Need to add delay before running ce.generateModels?

RobertYu

Hello,

I am doing the following all in python:

1. Associate a rule file with a shape
2. Generate the model
3. Create an new rule file
4. Associate the new rule file with the shape

But when I try to regenerate the model using the new rule file, it seems to fail unless I put a delay in front, as in:

    time.sleep(10)

    shapes = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.scene, ce.isShape)

    ce.generateModels(shapes)

 

Is there a reason why the delay is needed?  I might be doing something wrong here.

Thanks,

Robert

From trial and error, it looks like whenever you associate a .cga with a shape,

one should add a bit of delay to it, as in (function "framewait" defined in earlier post)

ruleFile = "rules/foo.cga"

ce.setAttribute(zone, "/ce/rule/ruleFile", ruleFile)

framewait(2)
