Modeler Lscript Question

[ShadowLight 3D]

Hi All,

Working on a self project. I have 1500 objects or so :: i was looking for a way to load each one into modeler one at a time, merge the points, set the surface (maybe some other commands here), then save and close the object - iterate and do the next one.

I thought I could record lscript commander which have done in Layout, but that doesn't appear in modeler (??). Maybe I just missed it?

Using LW 2015.3. Is there an easy way to do this? Not looking to learn a new programming language at this point (but maybe I have to!).

Thanks,
- M.

Don´t think you can do that in modeler, lscript commander is for layout action macros.

Batch edit actions in moder on several items, tricky one.

you can execute lscripts, but it´s like two different worlds and getting layout commands in to layout I don´t think is possible, the other way around is easier, though not fully supported.

Maybe a python script in modeler, but don´t expect macrorecording features like in layout.

Hi neighbor... While there is no Lscript commander for Modeler, you could still manually write lscript to run.

Another option is to look outside of LightWave for automation tools. The benefit of learning an external automation tool is that you can use it on more than just LightWave. Erik has posted several good videos on AutoHotKey: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lightwave+autohotkey

I found this one - it worked great! lets you setup one object with the surface, then loads, copies surface to it, then save each one.
