A small addition

tronotrond · 2016-03-22

Hi, first of all thanks for the great script and keeping it up to date!

I have a small addition to it you could include. Right now it fails if the selected camera is referenced in to the scene. I added this snipped to the getCamDetails function to get around the problem.

if classof selCam == XRefObject then
(
selCam = selCam.actualBaseObject
)

Minor update

Added check for Xref Obj.
Added 3D position to 2D AE position keys (clipboard) feature.

Updated to support 2016 Physical Camera
