[Closed] Extend Editable_Poly Geometry with Scripted Plugin

I want to create a scripted plugin to extend the Editable_Poly geometry class. I have run into some problems and have a question regarding this.

1. Will Graphite Modeling Tools work with scipted plugins that extend the Editable_Poly class?

2. How does one actually extend the class such that you can create it in the viewport and use it as an editable poly? Since you cannot actually create an epoly directly in MXS, you’d normally create some other object and then convertToPoly. But the nature of doing this inside a scripted plugin is confusing me.

Here is my plugin thus far… but it the object never displays in the scene… I don’t understand the program flow for the delegate (or maybe how to attach the delegate to a node…).
