Node
Overview
Node is a class in Aspose.3D FOSS for Python.
Inherits from: SceneObject.
Node.create_child_node(name, entity, material) creates a new child Node and optionally attaches an entity and a material in one call.
This class declares 17 methods for Node objects in Python programs.
Available methods include: __init__, __repr__, add_child_node, add_entity, create_child_node, evaluate_global_transform, find_property, get_bounding_box, get_child, get_entity, get_property, merge, and 4 additional methods.
Public members are accessible to any Python application after installing the Aspose.3D FOSS for Python package.
Properties: asset_info, child_nodes, entities, entity, excluded, global_transform, and 9 more.

Methods
| Signature | Description |
|---|---|
__init__(name: Optional[str], entity) | Calls init(name, entity) on this Node instance. |
add_entity(entity: 'Entity') | ` attaches an entity such as a Mesh to the current node after it has been created |
add_child_node(node: 'Node') | Attaches the specified Node as a child of this node |
create_child_node(node_name: Optional[str], entity, material) → 'Node' | ` creates a new child node, attaches an entity (e.g., a Mesh) and an optional material in a single call |
get_child(index_or_name) | Returns the child Node identified by index or name |
merge(node: 'Node') | Combines the contents of another Node into this node |
evaluate_global_transform(with_geometric_transform: bool) → Matrix4 | ` returns the absolute transformation matrix of the node, optionally including geometric transform |
get_bounding_box() → BoundingBox | Returns the bounding box. |
select_single_object(path: str) | Not implemented in the FOSS edition — throws at runtime. Selects a single object in the node hierarchy using the given path |
select_objects(path: str) | Not implemented in the FOSS edition — throws at runtime. Selects multiple objects matching the path expression |
__repr__() → str | Calls repr on this Node instance. |
get_entity(entity_type: type) | Calls get_entity(entity_type) on this Node instance. |
__init__(name: str) | Calls init(name) on this Node instance. |
find_property(property_name: str) | Calls find_property(property_name) on this Node instance. |
get_property(property: str) | Calls get_property(property) on this Node instance. |
set_property(property: str, value) | Sets the property value. |
remove_property(property) | Calls remove_property(property) on this Node instance. |
