I would like to export a single object to disk, in .OBJ format.
To export in .OBJ format I can use the SaveDocument command, I believe.
But to save just one object, not the entire scene, must I create a temporary document and save that? Should I use the IsolateObjects command to do so?

Hello Rui,
i did the same thing once and i did i just created a temp document and inserted the object into it, then exported the temp doc into the desired file-format.
I have never used IsolateObjects yet, but it looks like it does the same thing, so it should work as well.
greets,
Daniel

Thank you very much, Daniel. I will try it out, as soon as I get back from vacation.

Hi,
i just checked my code from back then and it looks like i actually *did* use the IsolateObjects function..
here's an example of how it should work:
static void exportSelected(BaseDocument* doc, Filename exportFileName){
if(!doc) return;
// get all selected objects
AtomArray* ar = AtomArray::Alloc();
doc->GetActiveObjects(*ar,TRUE);
if(ar->GetCount()<1) return;
// copy all objects in Array 'ar' to tmpDoc
BaseDocument* tmpDoc = IsolateObjects(doc,*ar);
// save doc to file
if(tmpDoc){
if(SaveDocument(tmpDoc,exportFileName,SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_0,FORMAT_OBJEXPORT)){
GePrint("exported selected objects to file "+exportFileName.GetFileString());
}
else GePrint("could not export selected objects to file "+exportFileName.GetFileString());
}
}
