One polygonal object from a hierarchy.

Hello plugincafe!
This object plugin simply extrudes all polygons from its child but sometimes it does not work properly. 
For example, if I attempt to use a figure object or MoText, Voronoi fracture(objects with sub-objects) as a child object, it simply ignores it.
Is it possible to solve this problem?

def GetVirtualObjects(self, op, hh) :
    
    #Check child Object
        child = op.GetDown()
        if not child: return None

#Generate clone
        cloneGenerator = op.GetAndCheckHierarchyClone(hh, child, c4d.HIERARCHYCLONEFLAGS_ASPOLY, False)
        dirty = cloneGenerator["dirty"]
        clone = cloneGenerator["clone"]

if not dirty:
            return clone

#Extrude all polygons
        settings = c4d.BaseContainer()
        settings[c4d.MDATA_EXTRUDE_OFFSET] = op[10000]
        res = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.ID_MODELING_EXTRUDE_TOOL,
                                            list    = [clone],
                                            mode    = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_POLYGONSELECTION,
                                            bc      = settings,
                                            doc     = child.GetDocument())

#Subdivide geometry
        subDivisionSurface = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Osds)
        clone.InsertUnder(subDivisionSurface)

return subDivisionSurface

Hi Merkvilson, thanks for writing us.

The reason behind this lack of desired functionality is due to the fact that objects presenting a hierarchical structure (like figure, motext or voronois) can't be directly used in the send modelling command. You actually should traverse your object hierarchy and pass to the extrude command the cache representation of the model itself.
