Hello Michael,
thanks for your reply. I will try to find a workaround:-)

Have a nice day

Hi Karsten, here's what I did to test clone on edges - I made a plane and named its edges A, B, C, D.

Then I pasted in this script to the XYZ control:

script: var breps = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getBReps(); for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i ) { var edges = breps.item(i).getNakedEdges(); for ( var j = 0; j < edges.length; ++j ) { var newcrv = edges.item(j).clone(); moi.geometryDatabase.addObject( newcrv ); } }

The edges are cloned into separate curve and those curves seem to have inherited the name of the edge ok...

Are you using .clone() somewhere else on a brep instead of a curve possibly?

Hello Michael,
the output node uses clone and after an Apply the edges are unnamed - name of the brep is ok.

The tempobjects are only for preselections in a running nodeeditor for creating new nodes - I want only
evaluate the names and store them in the node. After connecting the brep data I want to
select the naked edges by the stored names for e.g. blend-nodes.
I will send You the complete code
next friday, because I am not at home.
And I have to investigate the input/output functions -
maybe the names are still present in the direct following node, but first I have to create a testnode.

Thanks in advance
Karsten

Ok yeah if it's a Brep being cloned then I think there is a problem in there with sub-object atttributes not coming through. I've got it fixed for v4 but for now try using the copy factory from above to duplicate the Brep instead of clone().

Hello Michael,
I have made a testnode to check the chain "this.setOutputDatata"-> "this.getInputData" from one node to another. The inputdata are complete available - including named subobjects. So I can use this method to select named subelements for a blendnode:-)
When I have finished the node, I will post it to the forum.
By the way: What is the index 1 -|>Orientations in the blend factory for? And what are the parameters? I didn't find something in the blend.js that helps me.

Thank You very much for your help!

Have a nice day
Karsten

Datata has an extra ta ?
-B

Hello Brian,

it is only the increase form of data;-) -> datata -> datataest

Have a nice day

When you do a blend, the blend factory will fill that in itself, it stores 2 flags for each blend side, a "flipped" flag for whether the side should be flipped from its natural orientation, and a seam parameter for where the seam point should be located on a closed blend.

Those are then stored in the factory input so they will get serialized into history data and a history update will use any customized seam locations that were set by the user inside the Blend command.
