MergeDocument isn't importing/assigning textures

I'm working on a script to merge a file into my scene. I have polygon objects with materials assigned to them, but when I import using SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS (flag 1), it only imports the objects, not the materials. The SDK says it should import the objects "and associated items, such as materials used". Am I missing something?

Here's what I'm using:

import c4d
from c4d import gui
#Welcome to the world of Python

resourceFile="D:[***]\Interior.c4d"

def main() :
    c4d.documents.MergeDocument(doc, resourceFile, 1)
    c4d.EventAdd()

1. don't use numerals for flags when there are symbols available
2. the docs are wrong here, you need to tell it to load objects AND materials

MergeDocument(doc, fn, c4d. SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS | c4d.SCENEFILTER_MATERIALS)

Also, thanks for the tip re: symbols - I'm new to all this and have so much to learn

Hi theleast,

welcome to the Plugin Café forums.

We'll correct the documentation.
