Hi,

I want to select the file and get the path of this file. So I add the URI in my add-on, as follow picture.

But this VC_URI type can’t select the file. This kind of VC type only can select the document. The following is my python code.

After that, I found that there are only ten kinds of type in python API. I’m curious about these are all of the types? or it still have the other type that I have not find. Can someone teach me how to select the file and my curious? Thank you!!

Hello Jerry,

What I understood is that you want to select a file through Python API and for that you have to write uri (file path).

Select variable first and assign file path as value to the variable.

example:

uri=‘file:///F:\work\rollerconveyor.vcmx’

app=getApplication()

app.load(uri)

Here, rollerconveyor component will load in 3D world.
