Picking Sub Objects

[chris2307]

Hi all,

I am having a bit of trouble identifying objects within a scene using the mouse. I have something working but it is not giving me the output I wanted or expected.

I have made a simple scene in 3DS Max which contains two balls (one named Red Ball and the other named Blue Ball). I exported the model to OSGB and loaded this up in a Vizard scene. I did not attach the separate polygons in 3DS Max but I did export the scene as one model.

In the Vizard inspector, I can see the model and select the different objects. The inspector kindly shows up "Floor" "Red Ball" and "Blue Ball" so I know this information is there.

However, when I use viz.pick(info=True) to return an object, I am able to identify the different objects when I hover my mouse over them but I don't get the names. Instead, I see "14 - Default", "15 - Default"and "09 - Default"

Here is my code:

def showPicked():
	object = viz.pick(info=True)
	if(object.valid):
		print object.name

vizact.ontimer(0.1, showPicked)

Can anyone help me understand what is going on?
