Re: [HCP-Users] A question about scene file
As part of some other updates to the StructuralQC scenes themselves, I recently created a more sophisticated generation script that should use relative paths within the scene. Please try the just updated master branch of https://github.com/Washington-University/StructuralQC We have tested this internally, but it would be good to get feedback from an outside user before I formally tag a new release.

Sorry, in my second paragraph I meant "breaking the usual convention of the scene file XML".

Re: [HCP-Users] A question about scene file
The paths inside a scene file's XML are supposed to be relative to the location of the scene file. You are expected to usually have the scene file in a directory nearby where the data it refers to is, to reduce how far it crosses your filesystem structure to generate the relative paths. You can use wb_command -scene-file-relocate to move the scene file and regenerate its internal paths to put it closer to the data directory. If you need to move it to a system that doesn't have the same filesystems mounted the same way, there is wb_command -zip-scene-file (or the "Zip..." button in the wb_view scene window), which will generate a self-contained archive with all the referenced files and the necessary directory layout. If the QC scene was generated with a script, it may be that the substituted paths were absolute, breaking the usual convention of the script. Using -scene-file-relocate or loading and saving the scene file may convert these paths to relative.
