ok, this is my first "script" in xsi. i just took your question to
force myself to figure it out.
first you have to switch on the command logging in the script editor.
so you can see what commands you are going to apply to your polygons.
after the log is switche don, perform your taks once and you see the
commands as you executed them.
just copy these lines out of the log window and use it as the core of
your script.
the problem is that these operators dont work on the current selected
polygon, but on the last one (components like points/polygons are
numered throught on each object).
with these lines you can make it work on the selected polygon:
Set curSelection = GetValue("SelectionList")
ApplyTopoOp "ExtrudeComponentAxis", curSelection, siUnspecified, siPersistentOperation
if you wanna pass special arguments to the extrude read it up in the
sdk docs.
i'm sure this is the most crude way to do it ;)
ciao
franky
