Hello again to all.
I need to get ClassInstances of a modifier in the scene (let’s say ‘bend’ modifier).
1.- For objects in the scene, it’s easy:
BendModifs = (getclassinstances bend)
2.- For objects in an xrefered scene, it’s easy too (just one level. For more levels, I should use a recursive function):
for i = 1 to (xrefs.getXRefFileCount()) do
(
root1 = (xrefs.getXRefFile i).tree
append BendModifs (getClassInstances bend target:root1)
)
3.- For xRef Objects, I have no idea. Anyone can help me?
for i = 1 to (objXRefMgr.recordCount) do
(
a = objXRefMgr.GetRecord i
for j = 1 to a.ItemCount #XRefObjectType do
(
b = a.GetItem j #XRefObjectType
append BendModifs (getClassInstances bend target:b)
)
)
Doesn’t work at all. I can’t understand well what an xRef Object is and how to work with.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, I have a possible solution:
3.- For xRef Objects (just one level, non recursive):
xRefObjectsInScene = getclassinstances xrefobject
for xrf in xRefObjectsInScene do
(
xrf.getsourceobject false modifiers:&xrfModifs
for m in xrfModifs do
(
if classof m == bend do append BendModifs m
)
)
By the way, what does mean the ‘&’ I have to write before the modifiers array ‘&xrfModifs’?
I think the & comes from it’s use in c++
variable it references
Thanks, @AngryBear.
It’s been hard until I decided to write the ‘&’ and then it worked!
‘&’ means pointer to a variable.
fn setAValue &a value = (a = value)
a = 1
setAValue &a 2
print a
please let me know if it doesn’t work.
