RE: How do I know a model is an instance

[Martin Bélanger <martinb(at)Softimage.COM>]

looks like executecommand is the way.

// GetMaster
CValue GetMaster( const CValue& in_inputobjs )
{
 CValueArray args(1);
 CValue retval;

Application app;
 long i(0);

 

 args[i++]= in_inputobjs;

 

 CStatus st = app.ExecuteCommand( L"GetMaster", args, retval );

 

 return retval;
}

 

returns a XSICollection, so should be inside a CValueArray

Is there a C++ equivalent of GetMaster or is ExecuteCommand the only option.

But then you've already done something pretty daft so I'd think that's the least of your worries. ;)

here's a funny one though,

 

what if the model (master) for the instance got deleted... then GetMaster doesn't return

anything either.... aye aye...

Application.GetMaster(obj) 

 

That was it!

 

I did it ones before, but I thought it was a function on the object that would tell me.

 

Thanks!

try calling getmaster() on the model. if it returns something it's an instance else it's just a model

Hello,

 

I'm really cracking my head on this one.

 

I have a scene with instances and I want to know which of the models are instances. It should be easy, but I just cannot seem to put my finger on it.

 

Bot the instance model and the original model return "#model" as type.

 

Hans.
