scripting exporting

[garcia]

Hi,
I've been playing around with scripting feature in 7.6, very cool stuff
However, I would like to script saving, ie save as COLLADA .dae, but the command history shows a blank line, in both 7.6 and 7.61beta.
Is this not possible or is there a way?
Thanks for any help.
Mike.

Try adding your script to the Export button and saving it as ImportExport.rsobjj in the preobjects folder
When you Save as dae from the file menu, your script will run when you press the Export button

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, thanks that might work!

Would it be possible to pass a parameter that way?
I want to run polygon reduction, at different levels (for quick LOD's and to .dae conversion).

I'm still trying to figure out that part too, at least I have a clue, via cmd history

Node.Value("/Project/Space 3D/Horse", "Simplification level") = 60
ScriptObject.RunCmd("mesh modifiers package/simplifymesh", "Nodes list", "")

Sounds like you really do not need to use trueSpace's Collada Import Export to modify your object
You would need to make your object ready to be Exported first and then Export it
Be aware that trueSpace's Mesh Simplifier may or may not be compatible with Collada Import Export because of the Hierarchy it creates
Also, Flatten History does not work as you would expect on objects that have trueSpace's Mesh Simplifier applied
