HI all
I searched the forum for my question could not find fairly satisfactory result
So here is my question If I try to open a max file through max script listener
openfile “C:\Documents and Settings\vizuser\Desktop\5star_00.max”
listener outputs the same filepath as string
<File:C:\Documents and Settings\vizuser\Desktop\5star_00.max>
but I want the max file to be opened for editting in scene
HOW can I do this happen
thanks in advance
Use
max file open
openfile opens a data file for manipulation.
This is the max interface method of opening the file
But I want to open a file through max script as we do by double clicking on a max file in exporter
However thanks for the reply
Use loadMaxFile(). Look at the method documentation in the Reference.
when you are using the openFile function, you are actually opening the file as read-only text default mode:“rt” when you want to load the maxfile. Check Ypuech’s suggestion.
Hi,
try to use this method
shellLaunch (getdir #maxroot + "3dsmax.exe") (maxFilePath + maxFilename)
in this case 3dsmax will open opened scene in new 3dsmax.
Use different path instead (maxFilePath + maxFilename) to open scenes which You want.
eg.
shellLaunch (getdir #maxroot + "3dsmax.exe") "c: est.max"
