Parametric objects in Python

[Hoehrer]

@Sjoerd

btw, you mentioned that there are three places where code is needed. However, there is no object-specific code, all code except the trigger script is part of the Spyder framework. New objects are implemented by updating the framework.

That’s the whole point I’m trying to explain

what is “needed” != “already implemented”

Where “needed” is used in a context that has object-specific code stored with the object not the framework. At least that is my idea of real parametric objects.

So the framework is in no need of updates for new objects. It can also be used to edit objects created without the framework knowing anything about them.
That’s exactly what I did in file I posted (Except the generation of new objects with the needed code - that’s still todo).

The code IS stored with the parametric object (PO), but the framework reconstitutes the PO from string (so it’s not in the .blend file), and adds a pointer-to-PO to the properties of the Blender object. Attaching parts of your framework to Blender objects to make them smarter is eventually not viable IMHO, for the reasons I mentioned in post #19.

I really meant to just include something like the script i linked to in which you can make objects from formulas.

Done. It is available in the menu as a ParaUV object. Enjoy!
