Minor exporter update

[depursystems]

Hi Sam,
a great thanks for all the work you do.
Using Rhino v4 SR9 and when I try to send a rendering, displays the following error message.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Good work!

Very sorry for the delay in getting to this, it somehow slipped through the cracks. This looks like a V4 error only. Which version of the exporter are you using? My *.rhp complied one, the individual *.rvb files, or gmillas *.rhp? If you are using the individual *.rvb files, then replace functions.rvb with the one attached. I will attempt to recompile this into a *.rhp as well.

Side note to gmillas, if you want to update your code, these are the changes I made (in around line 244 of functions.rvb, there was also a redundant Rhino.UnselectAllObjects in there as well that I took out, so yours might be a couple of lines off):

Code: Select all

	'Select surfaces, Polysurfaces, Blocks, meshes
	'If it is Rhino5, we also want to select extrusions
	If Rhino.Version > 20110309 Then
		'Rhino 5 w/ Extrusions
		arrObjects = Rhino.ObjectsByType(1073745976, False, 3)
	Else
		'Pre extrusions, probably V4
		' V4 didn't have the third argument, object state (normal, locked, and hidden). 
		' In the V5 case above set to take normal and locked objects,
		' don't take hidden.
		'
		' As this doesn't exist in V4, we have to take a slightly more
		' manual approach to leave the hidden objects behind
		' locked objects have already been unlocked above
		Rhino.Command "_SelAll"
		arrObjects = Rhino.GetObjects( , 4152, True, True, False)
	End If

Thanks for your reply Sam.
Your solution has been successful, but when start Octane gives me the following error:

Code: Select all

There was an error parsing the command-line arguments:

If you run OctaneExportMeshes (if you don't have a button for it, you can get it by running RunScript, then choose OctaneExportMeshes), it should output to the command line the string that it is being passed to Octane. Can you copy and past that string here?

Sam

[depursystems]

Hi Sam
the "OctaneExportMeshes" work from commend bar but there is always the problem of duplicate materials so I finally resolved with the release of Rhino V5 WIP.
No problems with the exporter and no problems with duplicate materials.
Thank you again for your help.

Francesco

[gmillas]

This is a fresh version with corrected .rui file

[justix]

This is a fresh version with corrected .rui file

is this working on 4 Sr9? cause it does not initialize octanefunctions and if I do try to launch the command manually it gives me Script error...

confused on which one is the very latest for both V4 and v5Wip

Help

This looks like its due to using a comma as the delimiter rather than a decimal point. Taking a look at it now.

OK Daniel,

The attached should address this issue. Only the Functions.rvb file has changed. Let me know if you need assistance loading the rvb.

For gmillas, if you are following on and want to recompile with your more bullet proof system, the change comes on line 200 of the functions.rvb, just adding the following:

Code: Select all

strCommand = Replace(strCommand, ", ", ".")

' Then comes the existing bit of code:

' If the user wants to print the result, then we don't pass the scene to Octane
If bPrintResult Then
	Rhino.Print strCommand
Else
	Rhino.Print "Passing scene to Octane"
	
	Dim wshShell
	Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.shell")
	wshShell.run strCommand, 1, False
	Set wshshell = Nothing
End If
