Purpose¶

The module SoExecuteCommandAction allows for executing command actions provided in an Open Inventor scene graph.

Usage¶

Enter the name of a command action in the Execute field and finish editing to execute the first action with this name.

Alternatively, you can touch the field from scripting, which may be more convenient.

Details¶

Command actions, along with pointing actions, belong to Managed Interaction nodes, which provide an alternative, higher-level interaction concept compared to pure input events.

You can use the module SoInteractionInfo to query the interactions provided by a scene graph (do not forget to press the Update button).
