How to get location of 3D object in a hierarchy?

It's easy enough to get the location of a 3D object at the root, but how do I get the location of a 3d object that is in a hierarchy?
For instance, if I have a baseball player (biped - 3dsmax), grouped as "player" and exported to Director, how do I then get the location of the biped's hand? (or the glove that is linked to the biped's hand).
I tried just doing the basic...
put member("BBplayer").model("glove").transform.position
but director can't find the glove.
It can find the root model "BBplayer", but not any child object.
Anyone know how to get the location of a child object?
Thanks!!

I downloaded and installed that xtra and it really just shows the same info that I get in my object inspector.
Ok, so for a biped and related skin/mesh/objects to export correctly to the .w3d file type, one has to select all the biped parts and related
meshes into one Group. This group then becomes the object in Director that all things are based from. My charcter looks and animates
fine in Director. However, I still can't get coordinate information from anything inside this group or inside the hierarchy of this group, only
the group itself.
If I look at the group, either in the object inspector or the xtra you suggested, none of the child models appear under modelResources, model or group. They simply don't show up as being in this group or the children to the group. Nothing does except a few things that are useless, like "group("Bip01 Footsteps"), or some of the nubs, like headnub, fingernub and a couple of toenubs. Why some nubs show up and some don't is yet another mystery.
Anyhow, none of this makes logical sense.
I simply want to "get" location information for any 3d model in the scene, regardless of what group it's in or the structure. Anybody? It has to be possible, this is a fundamental need of any 3D programming.
Thanks!!!

How to get locations in Module?

How to get locations in Module?
We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
As we create target schema, it created location with host/port option. It is not allowing us to change to sql*net type connection. I tried after unregistering via CC as well.
I created new location under location explorer as SQL*Net type location (L-SQL). I tested the location and registered via CC.
I tried to configure in existing module (right click, configure) to point to new location (L-SQL). The new location L_SQL is not showing up in tables's location drop down list.
Any idea ?
I like to find out, what are modules use the specific locations like impact analysis on locations.
Do we have such features in OWB?
Thanks in advance.
RI

Hi RI,
there is no direct impact analysis on locations in OWB.
But you can use OMBPlus or public views for getting this info
Public views:
select * from ALL_IV_OBJECT_CONFIGURATIONS where configured_object_name='<module_name>' and configuration_parameter_name='DB_LOCATION';
and/or
select location_name,metadata_location_name from ALL_IV_MODULES where information_system_name='<module_name>';
OMBPlus command:
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET REFERENCE METADATA_LOCATION;
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET REFERENCE LOCATION;
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET REFERENCE LOCATIONS;
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET REFERENCE DEFAULT LOCATION;
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET PROPERTIES (DB_LOCATION);
Last OMBPlus command can return different values for different configurations.

Oleg

How to get similar color for objects in different pictures

how do you get similar color for objects in different pictures
I have a prodject that i'm working on and i need to edit several images at once (preferabley) so that they are the same color. They are wooden cupboards and i need all the wood looking the same colour. In light room you can edit a group of images at the same time hence the colours are the same . Is this possible in Elements ? If so how do i do this ?
I have tried duplicating layers and it just replaces the whole image, it seems to work using levels layers but not the other layers ... I have 30 more images to do and would ideally not like to adjust all the images manually ? I dont mind doing minor tweaks. Essentially all the images where taken with the same camera and lighting and lens's ...
Screen shot is where I'm at at the moment...
I have posted this question else where but was told to repost - this is a link to my previous post as to where we got to
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4720576#4720576

You could try using the raw converter. Open one file and edit it (File>Open, pick the image and choose Camera Raw as the format before you click Open). Then open the next image and click the little four-lined square on the upper right side of the ACR window and choose Previous Conversion from the flyout menu.

How to get location of file path.

I have uploaded the file but i need the path from where it is located.How to get it dynamically...
Thanks
Nitti

Hi Nitti,
Hopefully you have uploaded the file(say excel sheet) in the context (Va_TestResource) of your web Dynpro application in WDResource form.
You can convert this WDResource to byte array and then to iwdwebresource. Now using this you can get the URL for the file.
IWDResource res = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_TestResource();
if(res!= null){
try {
     InputStream i_is_FileStream = res.read(false);
     int i_int_NoOfBytes = i_is_FileStream.available();
     byte [] byteArray = new byte [ i_int_NoOfBytes ];
     int i_int_byteRead = i_is_FileStream.read(byteArray, 0, i_int_NoOfBytes);
     IWDWebResource webRe = WDWebResource.getWebResource(byteArray, WDWebResourceType.XLS);
     webRe.getURL();
} catch (IOException e) {
} catch (WDURLException e) {
Hope your issue is addressed

How to get the values from object ?

hi everybody,
i am experimenting with oops concept. first have a look at these coding and then tell me this.
what do i have to do to get the value of an object created. i want to use the get method to get the name, food and quantity, without the use of the created object. i mean i want to make the process independent of how many objects i make so that i can find a value given the name of a person in the object.
when this is done, i want to use this to create filed of a specific doc format for each object created. now when we are using the get method i want to read whats on the object value .
Am i being clear or are thing very confusing, please let me know wht u think so i can clarify myself more.
public class obj {
     String name;
     String food;
     int quantity;
     public void set(String ndata, String fdata,int qdata )
          this.name=ndata;
          this.food=fdata;
          this.quantity=qdata;
     public void get()
          System.out.println( this.name+" "+this.food+" "+this.quantity);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          obj obj1= new obj();
          obj1.set("varun", "burger", 2);
          obj obj2= new obj();
          obj1.set("roshan", "diet pepsi", 1);
          obj obj3= new obj();
          obj1.set("aman", "biryani", 2);
          obj2.get();
}

How to get the connected Adapter Object for a particular BDoc Type?

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which CRM system is connected to ERP system.
In SMW01 transaction, I can see one BDoc with BUS_TRANS_MSG as the BDoc Type in CRM.
Now, how do I get to know if this one BDoc is a SALESDOCUMENT or SALESCONTRACT.
Is there any way thorough which I can get to know the Adapter Object for this particular BDoc.
Regards,
Madhuri

Hi Madhuri,
Happy new year.
In Transaction : R3AC1.
You can observe the Linked BDOC for the adaptor objects. For example Sales docuemnt and Sales contrcat will have the same linked BDOC as "BUS_TRANS_MSG".
If you see an error in SMW01, you want to find whether it is salesdocument or contract.
1. Please take the Queue name from SMW01.
from the queue name you can find whether it is sales contract or sales document.
Queue name is customized in tables: SMOFQFIND.
I hope this helps you.
regards,
Sri...

How to get text name text object and text id for long text

Hi,
I am trying to fetch Long text for a given order number from transaction CO04 in SAPScript. I know that I have to use Include X (OBJECT) XX ID XXX.
How do I get the text name, text object and text id for the order header long text from Transaction CO04.
Points will be awarded..
Tushar

Tushar,
When you are in CO02, and are at the Long Text Tab,click on the Icon that is next to the Order Number at the top of the screen (this icon looks like a Pencil and a Pad of Paper and is called "Change Long Text"). When you click on this it will take you to the SAPscript Editor. Now hit Goto->Header and you will get the data you require.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pat.
PS. Kindly award Reward Points as appropriate.

How to get xml into java object

yo
i want to get the xml doc into some object like Document
i have downloaded code:

this class compiles fine but when i instantiate the class in code i get:
"Exception in thread 'main' java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/helpers/DefaultHandler"
Please, what does this mean and how do i get this to recognise that i want to use a specific parser
thanks a lot

You are probably not specifying the XML jar files (xalan.jar & xerces.jar) on the run line. What is the command you are using?
Actually, which "jars" you use is dependent on which version of the XML Java release you downloaded (Winter or Fall).

How to get a LabVIEW class object to expose an invoke-node method?

Hi,
      I like the property/invoke-node "paradigm" used for interacting with "objects". Can LabVIEW-class objects expose their properties and methods this way? Can one or more LabVIEW-class objects be compiled into a library or "assembly" (or other distrubution format) that allows the property/invoke-node usage?
I've looked at (but not completely understood) "Creating LabVIEW Classes". Have also searched for related posts.
The pic below shows an invoke node wired to a class with a Public VI "VAT.Status.Hello.vi". I'd like to see VAT.Status.Hello show-up as a Method. (I just tried "Select Method", and selected "VAT.Status.Hello.vi" but dialog's "OK" button stays greyed-out.)
Cheers.

Hi Aristos,
      Thanks for the reply!  It was a bit dissappointing, though.
It appears the LabVIEW-class object will be moving away from (what seems to me) a convenient object-interface presented by the invoke-node/method paradigm - which allows us to interface with a large set of "objects" (.NET, ActiveX, LabVIEW GUI, VISA Resource, ?) in a similar manner and independent of the object's origin. Being able to read the methods and parameters that appear in these nodes is also helpful for understanding diagram logic!
I do like the option of dropping a friendly "VI looking" icon on the diagram, but perhaps an optional - even default - VI-icon representation for a class-object invoke-node is feasible - so the LabVIEW class-object could be the more generic object first, but with a traditional-G representation(?)
Given the answer "We would like, someday, to support the property node"
and "in the next version of LV, wiring the LV class to the property/invoke nodes will break the wire so we'll avoid confusion in the future",
... I guess you'll break the wire in the next version, but (perhaps) allow it again - if support of the property node is ever implemented?
Regards.
P.S. For the record, huge THANKS to whoever it was that straightened-out enumerated-types (somewhere) between LV4.1 and LV6.1.  Every time I add or remove an enumeration in a typedef, I silently give thanks to the bright and thoughtful soul(s) who made this valuable tool work so well!
Hello. This is your friendly neighborhood R&D guy for LabVIEW classes.
Regarding your request about property and invoke nodes as relates to LV classes....
Short story: We would like, someday, to support the property node. We have no intention of ever supporting the invoke node.
Long story: As we were creating LV classes, we had to evaluate the right programming interface for these things. We wanted LV classes to behave as new data types in LV. A developer should be able to create a LV class, then give it to someone who doesn't even know OO programming, and that second programmer could use the new data type without learning a lot of new concepts. From this principle, we held fast to the idea that the programming interface should be subVI calls whereever possible. The invoke node is really nothing more than a VI minus the icon. If you want, you can popup on any subvi node and uncheck the option "View as Icon". This will make the node display in a way that has the terminals listed as text, like the invoke node. So, at the end of the day, the invoke node is simply a subroutine call in LV that is language dependent, as opposed to the language independent iconography of LV generally.
The property node is a slightly different story -- the functionality of a property node is actually different than an invoke node as its terminals are various subsets of the properties available, not a fixed list of parameters like the invoke node. The property node provides a nice interface for setting multiple properties in a block and only having to check a single error return. Very friendly. Our intent is to allow you to create a VI that has 5 terminals: object in, object out, error in, error out, and either a single input or a single output of your chosen type. VIs with this conpane could be marked as "properties" of the class and would show up when you wire the class wire to the property node. We would call the subVIs behind the scenes as needed to get/set the properties.
This is on the longer term roadmap because it is "syntactic sugar" -- it sweetens the programming style, but it is not necessary to program effectively. You can get the same effect by writing those same VIs and stringing them along on a block diagram "railroad track" style. We'll probably get around to it in three or four versions of LV -- there are some major user requests that impact functionality that have to get done first.
PS -- in the next version of LV, wiring the LV class to the property/invoke nodes will break the wire so we'll avoid confusion in the future of people thinking there's a way to use these nodes.

Jsp:usebean How to get value of an object from a bean

I am new to JSP and am struggling from past few days to solve a problem. Consider the below scenario
Class Book{
private String author;
public void setAuthor(String author)
public String getAuthor(){
return author; }
Class Rack{
private Book []books;
public []Book getbooks()
return books;
public void setbooks([]Book val){....}
Suppose Books gets populated only using Rack and I have Rack populate in my session, using jsp:usebean or any other tag how can I get value of author? Does using tag handle null value check of books, if books are not set by any chance?
Regards,
Dhyan

I got a way out to access the attribute, i feel it is
<jsp:usebean id="myRack" class="settings.Rack"/>
<c:foreach var="book" item="myRack.books">
</c:foreach>
I am not able to check if this is correct or not because myRack.books is not having any value set by me in the request scope. How do i get instance of Rack class set by another page in the current request? I can get the value if i use scriptlet but i dont want to use scriptlet.
I am continiously trying, if I get an answer, I shall post, else pls somebody guide.

How to get list of custom objects used in abap report program?

Hi friends,
I have a requirement in which I have to scan the entire abap report and retrieve list of custom objects used in it for example custom tables, data elements, structures, table types etc,. Is there any provision in SAP like fuction modules to do this functionality? As of now I am coding everything manually where so many possibilities are there for all kinds of objects. Provide your answers and suggestions...
Thanks,

Hi,
The best way to do this is environment analysis. Follow the steps:
1. Open se38, type in the program name (don't click on on display/change or create button, stay on first screen only)
2. Click on environment analysis button (hot key SHIFT+F4)
3. It will throw a pop-up, which will ask for type of object you want to see, which are linked /used by this program. select all (or may be if you are only interested in Tables, then select table only)
4. Hit 'Enter'
You will get the full list of all objects used in this report program. Just note down the one which starts with Z or Y and that's it.
Cheers,
Anid

How to get the list of object that are going to modify during the upgrade?

We are upgrading sap 4.OB to ECC 6, is there any place we will get the list of standard object which are going to modify in service market place? Please let me know the link to get those details.
Thanks

Usually you get this list when upgrading first system (sandbox type) via SPDD and SPAU. (useful for objects modified in your system - SNOTE or mofications) - The whole list of modified objects will be huge, many (most) objects were modified (created, even deleted) those last 13 years.
There are also tools that may help you like [panaya|http://www.panayainc.com/] (but i'm not sure for a 4.0B, it worked fine for a 46c) - look for tools/vendor at [Partner Information Center: Search|http://www.sap.com/partners/directories/SearchSolution.epx]
