Possible improvements for ModelBuilder scripts

Open carmichaelong opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

#999 does a good job of simplifying the interface for model building via GUI scripting. Some suggestions for further improvement:

  1. Add other methods to wrap current ones to remove the need to pass in a model.
  • I think users with less coding experience may have trouble with thinking about getting a model object and passing it in correctly.
  1. Make it less error prone to invoke loadModel().
  • I think some users will want to use loadModel() a lot to visualize incremental changes at they work on a model. We could make sure we either call it for users, or make sure it can only be called when it won't fail.
  • For example, currently in the GUI, adding a Body without a joint will cause loadModel() to fail.
