Get Base Object type ?

[f97ao]

Do something like this

classOf($.baseObject)==Editable_Poly

classOf($.baseObject)==Editable_Mesh

Maybe I'm not understanding the situation correctly, but if you convert a box or sphere to an editable poly or editable mesh, any connection to the original parametric object is lost... it's now just a collection of verts and polygons, so to speak.

we can know the current selection is or not a box like this:
if classof selection[j]== Box

alse for sphere:

if classof selection[j]== Sphere,

but if they are all turned to Editable Mesh,

how can we know it's base object ? i mean how can we know is it derived from box or sphere or

others ?

If the top of the stack returns Editable_Mesh because of, say, a Mesh_Select modifier on top of a sphere, you can ask for the class of the base object as mentioned before:

if classof $.baseobject == Sphere do...

But if the sphere was COLLAPSED to Editable_Mesh, then the base object IS Editable_Mesh and you cannot know what it used to be before the collapsing.

thank you all

i knowed that there is no way to get origin object when it is turned to editmesh.
