[Closed] submit bb job as

hi people,
is there a way to control how a backburner job is submitted, as 32 or 64 bit, via maxscript ?

From the 3ds Max 9 Service Pack Readme where the option was introduced:

MaxScript

If you want switch platforms using MaxScipt, use the following new optional parameter added to the Connect function of the NetManager class:
<netmanager>.Connect <enum>connectMode <string>id [port:<enum>] [platform:<enum>]

Where [platform] can be one of {#32 | #64 | #default }. All jobs created and submitted from this NetManager will match the specified platform. If a platform is not specified, the default platform is used.
Looks like Bobo missed adding this change to the maxscript docs.

Edit: you can also get the parameters using the following code:

showinterface (netrender.getmanager())

hah nice not documented feature =) thanks a lot
