Bug on light expression and ICE

Hi,

I’m trying to get a light shader parameter value through ICE and I get an Unspecified failure on specific cases.

Steps

- Create a light under a new model
- Create a null and parent it under the light
- Create an ICE Tree under this new null
- Create a Get Data and a Set Data node inside this new tree
- In the getter, write this_parent.soft_light.intensity
- In the setter, write self.size
- Connect the getter to the setter and the setter to the Port1 of the ICETree
- Export the model
- Import the model and Export again the imported model with a new name
- Now, if you try to import the second model, you will get an Error 21000-FILE-SIImportModel - Unspecified failure

This cause me a lot of problems since I’m limited to export only once a model and I can’t either use an expression instead of the ICE because the expression get off on export.

Steps

- Create a light under a new model
- Drag the intensity parameter curve icon on the cone angle parameter to set an expression (cone angle = intensity
- Export the light
- Import the new model
- the expression is gone

I’m using Softimage 2011 (64-bits), version 9.5.184.0 on windows 7

If anyone could find a workaround, it would be appreciated.
