[Closed] SDK: Sub-Object

Jan 02, 2015 1:10 am

Hi,
I couldn’t find many informations about adding sub-objects to the plugins. I need to add one to my plugin, so I put at the top:

static GenSubObjType SOT_MySubObj(10); //whats does the integer in the constructor mean?

and then in my plugin class:

	int NumSubObjTypes() { return 1; }
	ISubObjType* GetSubObjType(int i) 
	{	
		static bool initialized = false;
		if(!initialized)
		{
			initialized = true;
			SOT_ContPoints.SetName(_T("Subobject"));
		}

		return &SOT_MySubObj;
	}

But no sub-object appears… How to make it correct? My plugin is a Geometry object.

This constructor assumes that the icons are in either  [b]UI/icons/SubObjectIcons_16i.bmp[/b] or [b]SubObjectIcons_24i.bmp[/b]  depending on which size icons are in use by the system. In this case only the  index into the image list is required.

you also have to implement

virtual DWORD  GetSubselState ()  
  virtual void  SetSubSelState (DWORD s)

from object and

int GetSubObjectLevel()  
  void ActivateSubobjSel(int level, XFormModes& modes)

from baseObject

, BTW from experience sub object selection on a base object can be quite tricky to implement.
