Make referenced objects unique?

#1

I’m having trouble with something I figured would be trivial to achieve with the built-in functions.

I have a bunch of reference objects, which I would like to turn unique, without affecting the modifiers on top.

But for some reason I can’t get InstanceMgr.MakeObjectsUnique function to work. It works fine on instances, but not on references.
The InstanceMgr.CanMakeObjectsUnique also returns false, whenever I try it on a reference.

I’ve also tried to use the MakeControllersUnique and the MakeModifiersUnique just to see if that made a difference. The modifiers can be turned unique just fine.

How would I go about turning all my reference unique?

This is actually a very good question… But since this site is practically dead, I don’t want to waste my time and nerves anymore on fighting its bugs, lags and glitches.
If you are interested in discussing this problem, ask a question on the Autodesk Area.

Thanks, I’ll try posting there instead.
