Absolute path in Scene Port node in presentation mode

Post by DisNet » 02 Jun 2014, 08:55

Hello, I’m trying to display external scene using absolute path in Scene Port node. It is successfully displayed in Ventuz Designer, but it does not work when I export it to presentation. How can I resolve this problem?

Dont know about the Scene Port Node, but for data files external to the VPR, it was covered here some years back...

It may work for Scene Ports. Sorry dont have access to a machine at present to test.

Thanks for your reply. Relative and absolute paths work for external data files, but it does not work for Scene Port in Presentation mode. In Ventuz Designer everyting works correct, but when I export presentation external scenes dont load. I know there is different engines for Designer and Presentation modes, but i need to know is it bug, feature or workaround exists (or may be I'm doing something wrong?).

Hi,

One has to distinguish between scenes in the active Ventuz Project and scenes outside this project.
Loading scenes from outside the active project is not recommended in Designer and not possible during Runtime if running a VPR!
In Designer it's not recommended because a scene may require project-relative resources.
In VPR mode only scene can be loaded to ScenePorts which have been exported to the VPR because they were already used in a ScenePort or they are referenced by a Resource Linker node.
If you want to load any scene from the Project during Runtime to a ScenePort, you have to start VentuzPresenter.exe with the Project file (.vzp) and load the scenes via Remoting or via a logic within the scene containing the ScenePorts.

Best Regards
Karol
