NatNet SDK: Get list of all assets (including inactive)

Post by Rotem »

Using Motive 2 and NatNetSDK 3.0.1, I need to get a list of all rigid bodies in the assets pane. Currently, GetDataDescriptions() returns a list of only active assets. Is there a way to get the entire list?

Hi Rotem,

Unfortunately, Motive will not stream the assets that are not enabled, so these will not be listed in the data description.

You could try having all assets enabled at start, so they will be in the data description. Enabling and disabling the assets could then be handled through remote commands if you want to control this through your client.

Another option would be to save a Profile XML, from Motive, containing all assets. Your client could then read the XML to pull that information.

Cheers,
Steven
