example of SendModelingCommand()?

[Per-Anders]

you don't need doc->GetActiveObject, just use "op" that's what the active object is. and make your variables/objects outside of the command, i.e. don't put new(BaseContainer) in the command. make a new basecontainer outside i.e.

var bc=new(BaseContainer);

then use that inside of your command.

for debugging in general it's always best to not concatenate stuff until you're sure it works.

Hmm...op doesn't seem to be available as a variable. Maybe because it's a plugin file rather than a COFFEE expression? I've implemented the rest of your suggestion but the error message hasn't changed. Here's the latest:

OptimizedConnect::Execute(doc)
{
var myob = doc->GetActiveObject();
var bc = new(BaseContainer);

SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_JOIN, doc, myob, bc, MODIFY_ALL);
}

[Per-Anders]

your execute should probably read

OptimizeConnect::Execute(doc,op)

you should then check that op or if you keep it as is the myob exist i.e. if (!op) return; etc

[schvenk]

If I add the op parameter to Execute(), I just get a "too many parameters" error when C4D loads the plug-in...so I don't think that can be it.

And I agree that I should do some error-checking, but I thought I'd focus on getting the core code working first :-p.

Any other ideas? Is there any chance this has something to do with the fact that MCOMMAND_JOIN would need two or more objects to join?
