doc->Polygonize() makes a clone, according to the SDK. If I follow this with a CallCommand(12107) and CallCommand(12108) which is Copy and Paste, which is affected? The original doc or the "clone"?In my SceneSaver plugin (for which I used the .stl exporter from the SDK as starter) I had originally worked with a Polygonized doc. It seems when I couldn't find another way to Copy/Paste a polygon object and used CallCommand's it didn't work - as CallCommand seems to affect the doc and not the clone. Since my exporter tests the objects intended for export it knows that they are polygons - so I took out Polygonize. Now my exporter works all the way through (creates the output file and the correct output in the console) but still crashes C4D.
Does a SceneSaver require polygonization for some reason?
Thanks

The original doc, of course, since CallCommand() is equivalent to the user actually selecting that action in the C4D interface. You should use SendModelingCommand() instead.

Thanks. Of course that makes sense.
In my situation I need to make a copy of an existing object, not change it. Couldn't find another way than CallCommand() even I feel a bit uncomfortable using it.It seems making a duplicate and just inserting it into the doc should be possible. But how?
It turns out that the SceneSaver does apparently need a Polygonized doc.

To copy something, use the GetClone() method of the object.
