Importing SKP via code

eptar — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 09:13:22 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to import SKP via code (using existing functionality, without writing my own skp importer)? Or at least call the SKP importer directly using ACAPI_Command_Call? I've found some examples for DXF / DWG operations, so I hope we can get the related IDs / sample somehow, if the SKP import functionality is accessible from another addon.

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, this is possible. Please note that this is a private interface to the add-on, so it may change any time; always test before you try to call it.

The command is called 'LOAD', its version is 1. Parameters:

Name	Type	Meaning
"path"	[in] string	path to the .skp file to load
"originalFileName"	[in] string; optional	name for the created object; the name of the SKP file is used if not supplied
"LibIndex"	[out] int	the index of the created library part

The MDID of the add-on is {1198731108, 2994444117}.

Best, Akos
