Parent shape nodes

Hi All,

I’m doing a script and what it does is create some curves and parent their shapes nodes. Like this one:


pm.circle ( n='baseCircle_B', nr=(1, 0, 0), c=(1.5, 0, 0), r=1 )
pm.circle ( n='baseCircle_F', nr=(1, 0, 0), c=(0, 0, 0), r=2.5 )
pm.parent('baseCircle_F|baseCircle_FShape','baseCircle_B', shape=True, add=True)
pm.delete('baseCircle_F')

But I need to put it in a module and I don’t know how to make the parent works. Here is what I have:


def proxyCreatorArrow(bc_b,bc_f):            
    pm.circle ( n=bc_b, nr=(1, 0, 0), c=(1.5, 0, 0), r=1 )
    pm.circle ( n=bc_f, nr=(1, 0, 0), c=(0, 0, 0), r=2.5 )
    pm.parent(bc_f, bc_b, shape=True, add=True)
    pm.delete(bc_f, shape=1)
         
proxyCreatorArrow('L_INDEX_fin_Ctr_CY','L_INDEX_fin_Ctr_CX' )

u need to get the shape node when doing the parenting:

import pymel.core as pm

def proxyCreatorArrow(bc_b,bc_f):            
    obj1 = pm.circle ( n=bc_b, nr=(1, 0, 0), c=(1.5, 0, 0), r=1 )[0]
    obj2 = pm.circle ( n=bc_f, nr=(1, 0, 0), c=(0, 0, 0), r=2.5 )[0]
    pm.parent(obj2.getShape(), bc_b, shape=True, r=True)
    pm.delete(bc_f, shape=1)
         
proxyCreatorArrow('L_INDEX_fin_Ctr_CY','L_INDEX_fin_Ctr_CX' )

Thank you tokejepsen!

That was exactly what I was looking for.
