Drive things with .displaySmoothMesh

[justin hidair]

I basically need the Smooth Mesh Preview of a object A to drive the one of an other object B, .. While it's just a matter of connection for the smoothing levels (.smoothLevel)
displaySmoothMesh is a b**** and don't want to connect , and I need it so bad, because I can't think of another way, except for nasty callbacks..

Have you tried connecting the shapes together using the node editor?

[justin hidair]

I'd like to do it , but .displaySmoothMesh is a hidden attribute, that's why I went with connectAttr , any workarounds ?

If it helps, you can display hidden attributes in the Connection Editor via the menu at the top.

not even that , this attribute seems to be special to maya if it's that sneaky ... still looking for a real solution .also succeeded in connecting it to a custom short attribute on the shape node of the cylinder, I guess,
you can take that info, with smoothLevel and use generateSmoothMesh() ... is that how the BIG guys would do it ? I still prefer some direct kind of direct connection to take benefits of the smoothmesh preview..
