Does it 'generate' polygon objects?

depends on what the child is. i clone the object with this:

\>  BaseObject* clone = static_cast<BaseObject*>(child->GetClone(0, NULL));  
\>  

`

edit:
found out that if i dont use this:
> `

  
\>  cloneOfBase = main->GetAndCheckHierarchyClone(hh,baseMesh,HCLONE_ASPOLY,&dirty;,NULL,FALSE);  
\>  if (!cloneOfBase) goto Error;  
\>  pobj= ToPoint(cloneOfBase);  
\>  

`

but this:
> `

  
\>  if (baseMesh->GetDeformCache())  
\>  pobj = ToPoint(baseMesh->GetDeformCache());  
\>  else  
\>  pobj= ToPoint(baseMesh->GetCache());  
\>  

`

than it works...

any ideas?
