Hi,

I only checked in 9.6, but is it true that the InExclude list does not work with BaseMaterials?

No matter what I do, the ObjectFromIndex() does always return NULL when the object in the list is a BaseMaterial.

The Object count is 1 and it´s only the material in the list, so the list knows that the basematerial is there but the ObjectFromIndex() call does not return it.

Is it intented not to work with materials (as the return type is BaseList2D, this should actually include BaseMaterials)? Or is it only in 9.6 that it doesn´t work? If so is there a workaround for 9.6.

That would be highly important to me.

I am in GetVirtualObjects() btw.

Thanks!
Samir

I don't know, it works fine here.

little test code I used in the Atom object SDK example's GetVirtualObjects function

Hi Matthias,

thx first of all. Is this in R10+? or 9.6? I do the exact same thing in 9.6 and it doesn´t work. But if it works in R10 and higher then I could make my code specific and use normal link fields for 9.6.

Thanks!

I tested it in 9.6 and 10+. It works in both versions.

thanks Matthias. Hmm, then any of my pointers must be not filled correctly as I am using the same code. I´ll have a look. :)

Thanks for your fast response!

Cool, got it. It was indeed that my update structure did not have the link to the current document.

Thx again. Pointed me into the right direction. :)
