Hello,is it possible to determine if a Spline-input is used by a NURB?
GetBit(BIT_CONTROLOBJECT) works for polygonobjects but splines always return TRUE, so i can't find out if it is really used by the NURB.THANKS for help

Maybe there's no other solution than to iterate through all objects in the scene and check for each object ob the spline is used.

maybe using for example something like this:
if (splineObject->(GetUp()->GetType()==Oextrude)
{
//do something

I would be careful using double indirection though. If GetUp() returns NULL (perfectly valid), instant crash. Also note that instead of checking for every conceivable generator type object (and you'll miss plugin ones), you can get the more general flag, OBJECT_GENERATOR.
BaseObject* parent = splineObject->GetUp();
if (parent && (parent->GetInfo()&OBJECT;_GENERATOR))
{
// do something

Howdy,
Since a NURBS object uses the splines as input objects, you can also test for
parent->GetInfo()&OBJECT;_INPUT to help narrow it down. ;o)Adios,

Right. You can check as:
if (parent && (parent->GetInfo()&(OBJECT_GENERATOR|OBJECT_INPUT)))

thanks for the fast replies. but this does not solve my problem. i was too imprecise. I need to find out, which of the splines are really used. For example when I have a hypernurbs object with two polyobjects as Input, only the first one has the bit CONTROL_OBJECT set, so I can take the second one out of the NURB because it has no function there. but if I have a sweepnurbs instead with 3 input splines I can't find a difference in the third one to take it out because the CONTROL_OBJECT bit is set in all of them. this should be part of a sorting process. i think it's not possible or maybe do you have more ideas?

That's true of a Sweep NURBS because all three splines are used, the third being the rail. Both the first and second are always used (assuming they're not disabled). However, the rail is ignored if both Use rail direction and Use rail scale are turned off in the NURBS. If you look at these values, and both are off, the rail is not being used. Is that what you meant?

you are right. but that was not really the problem. its the same with 4 or more splines inside the sweep nurbs object. hmm ..
