I have changed my curve in GN like this:

enter image description here

So i simply set a "spline fac" to the control point (via store named attribute)

Now i want to read these values via python.

I tried this:

depsgraph = context.evaluated_depsgraph_get()

obj = context.object

object_eval = obj.evaluated_get(depsgraph)

object_eval.data.splines[0].bezier_points[0]["spline fac"]

and i got:

TypeError: this type doesn't support IDProperties

What am i making wrong?

Update to Psyonic's comment:

result:

  • $\begingroup$ I'm not sure how you "added" spline_fac but all the other values in your spreadsheet are accessed via the period. For example object_eval.data.splines[0].bezier_points[0].handle_left - Try object_eval.data.splines[0].bezier_points[0].spline_fac $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ i stored it via store named attribute -> i updated my question $\endgroup$

I presume geometry nodes output is a mesh only, so that you need to convert the evaluated curve to a mesh in order to retreive 'spline fac'.

import bpy

C = bpy.context

original_curve = C.object

depsgraph = C.evaluated_depsgraph_get()

evaluated_curve = original_curve.evaluated_get(depsgraph)

mesh = evaluated_curve.to_mesh()

spline_fac = mesh.attributes.get('spline fac')

for data in spline_fac.data:
    print(data.value)

  • $\begingroup$ worked like a charm! thank you! So i cannot store attributes on curves...is this the essence? or did i misunderstood that? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ it seems (in my understanding) that attributes are stored (as we can retreive them) but unless the evaluated object is converted to a mesh, they are not accessible. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ additionnally, remark that if you resample the curve (in gn), even if using dg, you don't have access to the good amount of bezier points. Like if gn modifications are not visible at all in the curve data. $\endgroup$
