Hi Yanus3D,

re:

Great! To get that result, make sure "Combine same named objects" is turned on here under Options dialog > Import/Export :



Then set the objects you want combined to have the same object name before exporting.

To do that, use Ctrl+A to select all, then click on the object name here and set to any name other than blank:



If you then generate your .lwo file you should get the same one layer result.

Yes, that`s works!
So I was thinking (I hate extra clicks in pipeline) is possible to do automatically?
Simple button in LW Exporter for it.....

Hi Yanus3D,

re:

Yes, you can set up a shortcut key that will do those steps automatically.

To do that go to Options > Shortcut keys and add a new one. For the Command part of the shortcut key put in this:

script:
moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().setProperty( 'name', 'Layer' );
moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs( 'filetype=lwo' );

Thank you!


But I am thinking about a fixed solution, such as adding a checkbox in the export menu. Could you add that?
There are too many procedures involved in exporting and importing, and I want to avoid unnecessary clicks and shortcuts.
I ask this because I understand when someone does it casually, but in our case, we have multiple projects running simultaneously, a huge data exchange between departments, and every extra click counts.

You only need to set up the shortcut one time, after that using the shortcut is just one key instead of 2 clicks.

Actually the shortcut saves even more clicks than that because it sets the file type to .lwo automatically as well.

O yes...now works perfect :)
So I wait for next update with fixed Pivot.
Thanks again!

Can you make a list what I can put in script for Lightwave format?
