This page describes the process to access any ModelPart from the global ModelPart <code>models</code>



= Getting a ModelPart =

A property of all ModelParts is that you can get a child ModelPart of a parent ModelPart by [[tutorials/types/Tables#generic-indexing|indexing]] the parent with the child’s name. <code>models</code> itself is a ModelPart. All bbmodel files in the avatar act as child ModelParts to <code>models</code>. Everything in the root of a Blockbench project is a child of the bbmodel ModelPart. After that, parenting follows the parent structure as defined in the Blockbench OUTLINER. For example the cube <Emoji icon="blockbench/cube"/> <code>RightArm</code>, 

<FileTreeRoot> <FileTreeNode label="model.bbmodel" icon="file/bbmodel"> <FileTreeNode label="Head" icon="blockbench/group"> <FileTreeNode label="Head" icon="blockbench/cube"/> <FileTreeNode label="Head Layer" icon="blockbench/cube"/> </FileTreeNode> <FileTreeNode label="RightArm" icon="blockbench/group"> <FileTreeNode label="RightArm" icon="blockbench/cube"/> <FileTreeNode label="RightArm Layer" icon="blockbench/cube"/> </FileTreeNode> </FileTreeNode> </FileTreeRoot>

Would be accessed via <code>models.model.RightArm.RightArm</code>



== Figura Model Format ==

Using the Figura Model Format Blockbench plugin you can right click a group/cube/mesh and copy the path to your clipboard.

To use the plugin open Blockbench and go to <code>File</code> in the upper left, and go down to the <code>Plugins…</code> option, you can find <code>Figura Model Format</code> there.

Once the plugin is installed, open the Blockbench project and go back to <code>File</code> and then <code>Convert Project</code>. Choose the <code>Figura Model</code> format and press confirm.

After that’s complete you can right click on a group/cube/mesh and copy the path to your clibboard. Note that this path will not include any subfolders the Blockbench model is in.



= Storing a ModelPart =

As there is nothing special about indexing straight from <code>models</code> all the time (its just another ModelPart), if a specific ModelPart is used multiple times in a script we can store it in a variable for ease of access.

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">--sets a World parented part to match the player's position and body rotation

local worldPart = models.model.World

function events.RENDER(delta, context)

worldPart:setPos(player:getPos(delta) * 16)

worldPart:setRot(0, -player:getBodyYaw(delta) + 180, 0)

end</syntaxhighlight>



= BBmodels in subfolders =

bbmodel files in subfolders are a special case. For them, the folder itself acts as another ModelPart. 

<FileTreeRoot> <FileTreeNode label="subfolderA" icon="file/folder"> <FileTreeNode label="Pet.bbmodel" icon="file/bbmodel"/> <FileTreeNode label="bow.bbmodel" icon="file/bbmodel"/> </FileTreeNode> <FileTreeNode label="subfolderB" icon="file/folder"> <FileTreeNode label="model.bbmodel" icon="file/bbmodel"/> <FileTreeNode label="bow.bbmodel" icon="file/bbmodel"/> </FileTreeNode> </FileTreeRoot>

The bbmodel <Emoji icon="file/bbmodel"/> <code>Pet.bbmodel</code> would be accessed by <code>models.subfolderA.Pet</code>.
