Assigning spatial treenode to Table Class in Flexscript

I can explore the spatial treenode in an object modeltree as a table. When I try to get access to the same node by flexscript and evaluate it as a table I get only the row headers without any values. How can I evaluate the treenode spatial as a table by code?

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.1.4

table table class treenode cast

The Table class was not designed to work this one-dimensional tables. To access the nodes, you can still use bracket syntax with the subnodes object:

someNode.subnodes[3] // or someNode.subnodes["childNodeName"]

To copy the list of nodes, the createcopy() command is still the easiest way.

Thank you @jordan.johnson, for the answer, I was looking for a different method to copy more than one value of the offsets or spatials to another object, because the order is the same of the locations, rotations and sizes for the offsets and spatials. I was thinking the table class inherits the same functionality as exploring a treenode as a table. Maybe it is possible to use a query on the treenode structure to find only offsets or spatials? And convert the result table to an array to insert the values at a different treenode later.

You can make a table with those values with this query:

Table result = Table.query(
	"SELECT $2 AS Name, $3 AS Value FROM $1", 
	model().find("Operator1>spatial"), 
	$iter(1).name, 
	$iter(1).value
);

From there, I still am not sure I understand what you want to do, but a table will probably help. You can clone it to another table, or use it later in the same code.
