Hi Defcon, so the parameters need to go into this spot, separated by semicolons:

gd.saveAs( OBJFileName, 'NoUI=true' );

So it should look like this:

function Convert( FileName )
{
    var gd = moi.geometryDatabase;
    
    // Open the file, set 2nd param to true to suppress any save changes prompt.
    gd.open( FileName, true );

    // Create the output file name by breaking off the file extension and adding 'obj'.

    OBJFileName = FileName.substr( 0, FileName.lastIndexOf('.') + 1 ) + 'obj';

    // Save out to the output file, passing the option to suppress the UI. You
    // add other options separated by semi-colons with no spaces. These
    // options are available for controlling the meshing:
    // NoUI=true
    // Angle=12.0
    // Output=ngons | quads | triangles
    // MaxLength=0.0
    // MaxLengthApplyTo=curved | planes | all
    // MinLength=0.0
    // AspectRatio=0.0
    // Weld=true
    // Display=shadedwithedges | shadednoedges | wireframe
    // ExpandedDialog=false

    gd.saveAs( OBJFileName, 'NoUI=true;Angle=1.0;Output=ngons;MaxLength=0.0;MaxLengthApplyTo=curved;MinLength=0.0;AspectRatio=0.0;Weld=true' );

    // Let's clear out and suppress any save changes prompt again.
    gd.fileNew( true );
}

Does that get it working how you need?

I think part of the issue might be that at some type of geometry changing the “angle” doesn't create any new polygons.

He may want to start using “divide larger than” to generate more poly’s.

Kindof just guessing from the original “doesnt create more poly’s” info…

Hi Burr, well also the angle parameter was not actually getting applied in the script code here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=10884.6

It needs to be sent in as a parameter to the moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs() function.

I just gave it a try, and it's working perfectly!
Thank you so much :D

Is there a way to remove the need of the BatchConvert.js script, and make it work on just a drag/drop way on the moi3D.exe who have the script path in it ? or through a CMD maybe ?

Or, in the BatchConvert script, a way to tell him to convert every compatible files in that folder.

The idea would be to remove the need of writing the path of each files.

Hi Defcon,

re:

I don't think there is a way to make it work with drag/drop on moi.exe because that already does something different - MoI will launch and will try to open the file that you dropped and there isn't a way to make your script intercept that.


> or through a CMD maybe ?

That's probably possible. You can make a .CMD batch file get filenames that were drag/dropped onto it like this:
https://taeguk.co.uk/blog/drag-and-drop-batch-files/

Then you'd probably need to make the batch file generate the .js script file with those names in it and then it can launch moi.exe giving it the .js file that was just written.


> Or, in the BatchConvert script, a way to tell him to convert every compatible files in that folder.

It's possible in a MoI script to retrieve a list of all files matching a wildcard pattern inside of a given folder.

Check here for an example:

Hi Michael,

Awesome!
I added the function to the BatchConvertScript, and it converted the 41 parts in a matter of seconds, where it took me a good 30min manually the other day :D

Thank you so much for your help!

If something like making a batch program and using Moi's API in the future isn't possible for some reason you could use an automation program like Uipath (free for individual developers), AutoIt or another one where the software uses a robot to interact with the GUI.
