copying same parameter to a 100 objects
Hi,
I have a bunch of splines that I’m extruding. I’d like to use separate extrude nurbs so that I can give them different textures. I’m trying to use 1 placeholder EN that I then drag into expresso, and feed the values for depth, fillet type, fillet radius etc into the other EN’s. I can copy each object in expresso, but when I copy the object the port connections are deleted. I then have to reconnect the ports to the placeholder for each object. I’m wondering if there’s a way to copy an expresso node and keep the wires connected to the input object, or if there is an obvious easier way to do this?
Thanks,
Mike -

Unfortunately you just have to do it for each node.

You only need to make one XPresso tag and for the target EN Object Node use —
Reference Mode – Use Start Position
Start Postion – This Object
Start Distance – 1
History Depth – 1Once it’s set up the way you want you can just copy the XPresso tag to all the other Extrudes

Good thinking. Now that I think about it, you cuold also use set driven keys and apply them to a multi-selection of objects.

On second second thought, you could avoid Xpresso altogether but using a selection object referencing all the extrude nurbs. Just select all of them and make the changes.
