Hello to all,

during a part of my code, I create a folder with the following code to export a certain model I create.

> shNode = slicer.mrmlScene.GetSubjectHierarchyNode()  
> sceneItemID = shNode.GetSceneItemID()  
> exportFolderItemId = shNode.**CreateFolderItem(sceneItemID , “Models”)**

How can I check if this certain folder exists later in my code and use it to export another model?
