How do you change the appearance of an object using python script?

Python Programming

I don’t really know python language and I’m also doing this in kuka sim.

Lets say I have Object_1 and I want to change its appearance based on a variable in the robot; what would this type of program look like?

Inside of my robot cell all the object-shapes are laying on the floor.

I think I should be able to create a function that grabs their models and overwrites the current model in “Object_1”

Something like…

If variable = 1 then
model = model.object_2

else if variable = 2 then
model = model.object_3

Or whatever it would look like. Sorry for not knowing syntax or anything

On the Visual Components Academy webpage, there is a tutorial that covers event triggering and color changes, I think you can take a look. :melting_face:

You can also check the tutorial on using the Switch feature.

You can use the switch together with some variable to toggle what CAD model is visible.
