[Closed] "Merge Transforms" with XrefObjects

that’s from mxs help:

[left]you have to use objXRefMgr.AddXRefItemsFromFile with some undocumented xrefOption… I don’t remember: #mergeTransform, #mergeTransforms, or #mergeControllers.[b]

edit:
it’s #mergeControllers

Running “showinterface objXrefMgr” (in 3ds Max 2011) returns a few options you can use.

Interface: objXRefMgr
Properties:
.recordCount : DWORD : Read
.dupObjNameAction : enum : Read|Write
dupObjNameAction enums: {#prompt|#xref|#skip|#deleteOld|#autoRename}
.dupMtlNameAction : enum : Read|Write
dupMtlNameAction enums: {#prompt|#useXRefed|#useScene|#autoRename}
.mergeTransforms : bool : Read|Write
.mergeMaterials : bool : Read|Write
.mergeManipulators : bool : Read|Write
.mergeModifiers : enum : Read|Write
mergeModifiers enums: {#xrefModifiers|#ignoreModifiers|#mergeModifiers}
.mergeTransforms : bool : Read|Write
.getAutoUpdate : bool : Read|Write
NOTE: Setting the properties on objXrefMgr don’t carry over to xrefs.addNewXrefObject, but they do carry over to opening the files from the Xref Objects Dialog. So you would need to continue using objXrefMgr to have the set properties carry over.

Thanks U both very much. I am in 3ds Max 2010 but thanks to denisT it looks the script works.

Run the “showinterface objXrefMgr” command to see what is exposed in your version of 3ds Max.
