Hello,
Hi
I have a small script in production that I need to optimise for cycles. There will be a lot of copies in the scene, so I want to make them instances.
I have not found a way to:
a) select only one object, make it active and then use: bpy.ops.object.duplicate_move_linked() (the less elegant approach, I think)
is there a select “none” or deselect all, instead of select_all(‘TOGGLE’)
b) create a mesh and exchange its linked datablock.
Summary: I want to create an empty mesh and replace it’s…
It avoids copying the mesh data block so that memory footprint should be small. Changing of the location of the object still will be possible as shown in the example.
For working with bpy.props.CollectionProperty you might want to check the code that can be found here:
