How to create a container object

Post by Vasten »

Is there a way to make my Feature python object a container

Its not super critical, but I would like to create my own container elements with custom icons

Im currently relying on the Part container for everything, but it would be nice to be able to create my own so tree view is clearer and easier to read


bonus question...
is there a way to set "touch alerts"(for lack of a better word.. probably just my ignorance of the framework)

eg. 1. I would like one object to recompute when another object is touched or edited

eg. 2. I would like a custom container object to recompute if any of its child object are touched

eg. 3. I would like an object to recompute when a any of its parent containers(all the way up the hierarchy to top) are moved

eg. 4. I would like an object to recompute when a any of objectX's parent containers(all the way up the hierarchy to top) are moved

My intuition says 3 and 4 may not be feasible
