Title: PRC and Frames
Post by: dewydd on September 01, 2026, 09:05:31 AM
Hello
I'm trying the new PRC and noticed the different way Bases are managed, which I don't understand.
In KUKA|prc that was straightforward: provide a base, from my own list of bases to the Core component.

in PRC, i don't understand where Bases are actually stored. It seems I have to open the settings, select a base slot and edit manually, which is quite worser than before since it was important to numerically store in my definitions for multiple reuse. When I create a new GH definition, it seems that upon creation of the new "Robot link" for that definition, bases previously created are inherited (copied/pasted) automatically, but then I can change Base 1 in one project while Base 1 in another stays unchanged.

So my questions are:
Is it really no longer possible to input bases from outside the Core component?
Is it the same for project name, so that I have to type it manually for each new use of the component?

This looks to me a major step backward in streamlined usability

Regards

Hi,

PRC is under heavy development, so your feedback is very appreciated!
Do I understand it correctly that you are using the "Expose Base" setting in KUKA|prc and would like to have something similar in PRC?
For now, you could right-click the Core component and select "Enable Settings Override".
Then you can plug in something like that for setting your base:
{"BaseNumber":"6","BaseX":"500","BaseY":"0","BaseZ":"0","BaseA":"0","BaseB":"0","BaseC":"0"}
Does that do what you are looking for? So from the underlying methodology, ignoring that you would currently have to edit the JSON or generate it via e.g. a script.

Best,
Johannes
