Re: Clusters

Damn i was close.
I also thought that maybe its a C++ API problem and i should try to get
Geometry via CComAPIHandler.
But i guess i try it the wrong way. The JS script you provide printout all
polygons right.

Thank you Matt, you are xsi wizard )

RE: Can the Softimage/Maya from SP2 to SP6

[Sven Constable]

I was just referring to regular service packs, that were updates to the
their specific version. I have no idea what is a 'critical' update.

Aren't you now entitled to only 'critical' updates?  was that the case then?

I was able to update to SP6 by downloading it first from the Autodesk 
website.
Also updated Mental Ray.

Re: Clusters

[Matt Lind]

When you get a reference to the geometry object, you're getting a snapshot 
at a specific moment in time independent of the source object.  If you make 
modifications to the geometry after you obtain your reference, results may 
be invalid.  Therefore, make sure you get the Geometry after you apply the 
last extrusion.  Alternately, try the CGeometryAccessor class. While 
intended for use in exporters, it may be of use in your case.

You may want to pass the construction history mode as an argument to 
GetGeometry().  This ensures you're getting the correct snapshot of the 
geometry.  Also doesn't hurt to specify the frame on the timeline which to 
get that snapshot.  Not required, but the more inputs you define, the more 
narrow the expected results should be making troubleshooting a little 
quicker and easier.

For comparison, try the following JScript code to see if you get the same 
behavior:

var oObject   = Selection(0);
var oGeometry = oObject.ActivePrimitive.Geometry;
var oPolygons = oGeometry.Polygons;
LogMessage( "Polygons[" + oPolygons.Count + "]: " + ( 
oPolygons.IndexArray ).toArray(), siComment );

If the script code works but C++ fails, then consider using COM/OLE in C++ 
to dig into the same methods as used by the scripting engine.  Remember, the 
pure C++ API you are currently using was not part of the original XSI design 
spec.  It was bolted on later.  There are areas where the implementation is 
incomplete and/or different than what you experience going through the 
scripting engine.  The COM/OLE interface is the original C++ interface of 
XSI, but when XSI 1.0 was released, there was a lot of complaints from 
customers that it was not compatible with Linux and other operating systems. 
So Softimage put effort into developing a pure C++ API and pretty much 
played catch-up the rest of the product's history.  COM/OLE is more of a 
burden to code with, but will give you the exact same results as returned 
through the scripting engine - because it is the scripting engine.

One area you are forced to use COM/OLE is dealing with SubComponents as the 
pure C++ API doesn't implement the SubComponent class.  So start there for 
your tutorial.  I believe the C++ reference has such a tutorial in the 
beginning of the SDK docs.

Clusters again i guess.
I have an object. It have 2 edge Clusters and a some Operators applied.
When i try to get all object polygons like so:
PolygonMesh curMesh(save_obj.GetActivePrimitive().GetGeometry());
CPolygonFaceRefArray all_polys = curMesh.GetPolygons();
I don't have all of them. I don't have last extruded polygons.
But if i delete edge clusters. The same code above bring back all polygons
of this object.
Is there any workaround about this problem other than freez it all ?

Thanks for the clarification, it did give my an error when I tried to 
update via the Maya interface.

AFAIK any version always included any updates within its version. It's not
an upgrade, its an update.

Can Maya 2015 SP2 be upgraded to SP6 without no subscription?

The version we received when Autodesk EOL Soft.
