This script will convert a 3D group of meshes into a single polygon mesh.

OK Thanks, missed an update, missed an update, missed an update............

Update Sep 10

fixed strange inconsistent quad mode by adding an option and setting it explicitly
group 3d combined arrange in the LE
open panel instead of direct run
restore flatten question state instead of setting to On

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 12 Sep 2024, 01:57

Update Sept 11

fixed press "No" on Construction history dialog giving actual error or bogus error
new flatten final result option - uncheck to keep boolean history, atypical use case
new pre-process to setup the Dialog settings for flattening without asking for each mesh object
typical use text hints from trueblue - "Yes and check it"
remove memory leak warning - no leak after all
lose your undos warning only shows one time, so if errors it will not show again until after a successful run

Here is a PolyCombine object that was processed with Flatten Final Result unchecked

I took the cubes and moved them closer together so you can see the effects of the boolean operations.
The only case where it disappears is when both Csg operation nodes operation are set to intersection. To make it "reappear" just move the cubes even closer together so each cube intersects the other 2.

You can also checkout manual chapter 3.7 Boolean Tools

Update Sept 12

changed order of flatten error construction history setup message
bug, error states resetting dialog settings - fixed
added show and hide buttons
on success if flatten warning was active before the run give alert "press [Hide]..." - useful if you plan to run the Poly Combine several times

3D Group with ORA

Yep, it is different
When I press the Show Object Attribs button it creates individual ORAs inside each primitive instead of one master ORA in the group

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 13 Sep 2024, 02:37

It is not supposed to do that
The object I uploaded only has one ORA panel and the children have a RenderAttributes node connected to it

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 13 Sep 2024, 04:35

2nd Update Sept 12

StartMulti - test for renderable was too late, Invalid procedure call or argument Error - fixed
fixed Start Group IsNotPure3D function to check for ORA node
clear undo history on errors

tested on the latest UU and it behaves as it should, so issue was with older UU version or the uu4clinton install

The current UU and previous updates do not have the latest Mesh Origin

I'm talking about the Show Object Attribs button. On my current setup (older UU plus uu4clinton) the ORA goes into each individual mesh object in the group. On the last UU it behaves as expected, with ORA going into the group and the other node going into the individual mesh objects. Either the old UU caused the issue or the uu4clinton install caused the issue.
