Externalizing Containers

[Joe Styles]

Has the ability to externalize containers gone in Ventuz4!? We use these in remoting to control multiple instances of items.

When I need to make a change to one of the instances I work on one container and then copy it and paste container contents on the other instances. The externals being internal to the container and the container being externalized.
Hopefully I am missing something Can someone tell me how this can now be done?

Attached is a simple Ventuz3 scene with externalised containers to show what I mean.

This is quite fundamental if I can't do it in Ventuz4
Any help would be great, thanks!

The Externalizing Mechanism has been replaced by the Scene Data.

Regarding your example... If you bind the Nudge from inside the container to the scene data and then 'copy paste container contents', all are bound to the same Scene Data Channel.
So if you want the three items to be bound to separate Scene Data Channels as in your scene, you have to expose the Nudge method and bind it from there.

i'm no fan of this change either.

please consider giving the user an option to bind to the existing channels or creating clones. at least for containers this would be great.

The clone function is already done and will be relweased within the next version Ventuz 4.04.00.

Cheers!
