Hi there,

utils.SendModelingCommand() just returns a null, but it should return a hierarchy when converting a Cloner Object or Particle Geometry. Is this a bug or is thee a way to get the full converted hierarchy ?

thanks !

I'm not able to go to my Pc for today, so i just wrote this code from scratch on my mobile device since I can remember that code.

def MakeEditable(op) :   
    import c4d   
    from c4d.documents import BaseDocument   
    from c4d.utils import SendModelingCommand as SMC   
  
    op  = [op.GetClone()]   
    doc = BaseDocument()   
    doc.InsertObject(op[0])   
    op  = SMC(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE, list = op, doc = doc)   
    return op   
  
def main() :   
    converted = MakeEditable(op)   
    doc.InsertObject(converted)   
  
  
if __name__ == '__main__':   
    main()

If you convert a ClonerObject, the clones are usually grouped under a null. The same for Particle Geometry.
Executing this script does only insert the Top null, but not the children.

I do hope the code works, I'm sure it is exactly the same I used on my Pc.

Cheers, Niklas

Here's one way that works for me using current state to object:

  
import c4d  
from c4d import gui,utils  
  
def main() :  
    
  bc = c4d.BaseContainer() # Create a new Base Container    
  convert = utils.SendModelingCommand(c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT, list = [op], mode = c4d.MODIFY_ALL, bc = c4d.BaseContainer(), doc = doc)  
  doc.InsertObject(convert[0]) #SMC uses a list.So we need to specify which list element to add to the OM  
  c4d.EventAdd()  
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

Oh that could have been the problem !

c4d.MODIFY_ALL

I'll check it out tomorrow, thanks.

Unfortunately, it does not.
It just inserts the top Null Object. And in your example, the command automatically inserts the object. And I'd need it just internally. And best also all polygons merged together.

Thanks, nux
