Thanks Sylvain. It’s a good start, I’m looking in a way to build those Phenomenon by script after building them in the Render Tree.

Patrick, I think this is what the XSIUtils.DataRepository.GetIdentifier() method does, with siObjectCLSID as second parameter.

is there any speed increase when rendering 1 phenomenon versus its many parts?
