I have installed import_off addon from this github repo. This addon provide import functionality of the ".off" file in blender using the GUI. But there is no way I can import ".off" file using python.
Please tell if there is any way I can import .off files using python, since I intend to work on many 3D models and using GUI is not possible on all of them.
You are under a misapprehension that you can not use the import OFF addon you posted.
Get the name of the operator by mousing over the import menu bpy.ops.import_mesh.off(...)
Typing the operator in the python console and using autocomplete CrtlSpace exposes the parameters (Same as those in the UI).
bpy.ops.import_mesh.off(filepath="", filter_glob="*.off", axis_forward='Y', axis_up='Z')
>>> bpy.ops.import_mesh.off(
Simply pass the filepath of an OFF file to the operator in your own code.
Eg: to import with default settings.
filepath = "some/path/to/file.off"
bpy.ops.import_mesh.off(filepath=filepath)
This can be done for pretty much all import / export addons.
Answer from @batFINGER worked for me, but I had to pass the parameters as named parameters.
Do it like this:
bpy.ops.import_mesh.off(filepath = filepath)
Not like this:
bpy.ops.import_mesh.off(filepath)
