Hi,

i am just wondering if the "connect object" is available as a BaseObject, just like Ocube or others?
I cannot find it, but it is available in cinema as a object type.. can i use it the same within a Generator Plugin?? it would be much better than using ModellingCommand plus i actually dont know if i can even use a ModellingCommand with VirtualObjects...

thanks for your intput..
cheers,
Ello

The ID of the Connect object is 1011010.

You can always get the ID of objects/tags etc. by dragging them into the command field of the Cinema console and print the type.

See here:

cheers,
Matthias

This code is working for me. It simply returns a Connect object in GetVirtualObjects(). You can see it if you make the object editable.

  
BaseObject *RoundedTube::GetVirtualObjects(BaseObject *op, HierarchyHelp *hh)  
{  
  BaseObject *ret = NULL;  
  
  Bool dirty = op->CheckCache(hh) || op->IsDirty(DIRTYFLAGS_DATA);  
  if (!dirty) return op->GetCache(hh);  
  
  ret = BaseObject::Alloc(1011010);  
  
  if (!ret) return NULL;  
  
  return ret;  
}

cheers,
Matthias
