hi there,
again i face a problem not able to solve..
i have a link field in my gui which i use this way:

> `

  
\>  BaseObject *profile = (BaseObject* )(bc->GetLink(VIRAL_PROFILE,op->GetDocument()));  
\>  

`

and want to use it later on for a sweep nurbs:
> `

  
\>            if (profile)   
\>            {  
\>                 op = (BaseObject* )(profile->GetClone(0, NULL));//BaseObject::Alloc(profile->GetType());  
\>            }  
\>            op->InsertUnderLast(sweep);  
\>  

`

but it doesnt work. if i use the commented (...GetType) at least the Type of Object is created and inserted, but of course not its settings (like radius, etc)

how do i use the linked object correctly in this case?

thanks for your help

ok, i found out that if the Linked Object is placed after the ObjectPlugin (in the object manager) my code works, but if it is placed before it than the object isnt cloned.. any ideas??

It's probably a limitation of Cinema's object system. Mograph is facing the same problem. it really depends on the type of object plugin.

cheers,

hey ello,

i just had the same problem and i found out that it seems to work if the linked object is placed before your object when you use:

> clone = (BaseObject\* )link->GetClone(COPY_NO_BITS, NULL);
