RE: [Maya-Python] getting shape object from a command

[br...@meljunky.com]

You could use the method extendToShape from MDagPath:

OpenMaya.MDagPath.extendToShape

(

)

So, it should be:

dagPath.extendToShape()

Hi

I've got a c++ question, hope you don't mind :)

I'm developing a plugin that has a command and a MySurfShape derived from MPxSurfaceShape.

I need to get pointer to shape from within doIt() method of the command - is it at all possible? If not, how do I get shape's guts from a command ?

MStatus stat = MS::kSuccess;

MArgDatabase argDB(syntax(), args, &stat);

// get shape - first selected object

MSelectionList list;

argDB.getObjects(list);

MDagPath dagPath;

list.getDagPath(0, dagPath);

// get my shape ? how ?

MySurfShape* p_shape = ?????

 

thanks

No, extendToShape just modifies the dagpath, while I need to get a pointer to my specific class.
