Hi wise guys,

after searching hours for this problem, I couldn't find any solution. Maybe you can help.
I tried to create a OCube-Object, make it editable and then subdivide it. First two points work fine, but I can't subdivide it with a further SendModelingCommand() in the same routine. The odd thing on this is, that there is no error message, everything seems to work fine.

In another routine (e.g. a dialog::command routine) it works...

And there is another question: Why isn't it possible to run multiple Modeling commands in a queue? Maybe like this:

> \> SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE|MCOMMAND_SUBDIVIDE|MCOMMAND_MELT, doc, op, bc, MODIFY_ALL); \>

Would be a nice feature... ;)

Oh, and please don't bully me for that dirty code, errorcatchers and so on will definitely be added. ;)

greeting, Robert

never mind, got it... :)

I just forgot to assign the object to a new variable like this:

> var dummy = doc->FindObject("RockGenObject");

But is this the optimal way?

have you seen this part in the sdk doc

"If a document is provided, an undo is automatically added. If doc is NULL, no undo is added, so one can collect multiple SendModelingCommand() calls "
