Hi Guys,

just started Python and I think I'm doing very well.
I've created a simple Cloner with the Python Generator. Now I want to Convert the Clone internally to a PolygonObject.
I tried SendModelingCommand() but it crashes because there is no document overloaded (because the Object is just virtual x) ).

So, my Question would be: Is there a way to Convert an Object internally in Python ?

Thanks in advance, nux

I could find a way to do it:

def MakeEditable(op) :  
  import c4d  
  if (not op) | op.CheckType(c4d.Opolygon) | op.CheckType(c4d.Ospline) : return op  
  
  op = [op.GetClone()]  
  doc = c4d.documents.BaseDocument()  
  doc.InsertObject(op[0],None,None)  
  op = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(  
                            command = c4d.MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE,  
                            list = op,  
                            doc = doc )  
  return op[0]

Cheers, nux

I recommend you to use c4d.Ospline, c4d.Opolygon,... instead of hardcoded constants. I would also use CheckType(...) instead of GetType() so it accepts subtypes as well.

op.CheckType(c4d.Opolygon)
