Communication Manager - saving as OBJ

Anonymous
Not applicable
First post on that Forum - hello everybody,

Problem: I'm developing a simple add-on. At some point it should save current project (3D data) in Wavefront OBJ format. There's already an add-on for writing out OBJ format, which works fine, so I should use it from my add-on.

Question: how do I know the MDID (module identifier) to properly call the third-party add-on from my add-on?

I know there's Communication Manager, and I've searched the docs and this forum. Looks like this should be pretty straightforward, yet: what is the OBJ add-on MDID?

In the doc's example they use DXF/DWG:
API_ModulID mdid = { 1198731108, 1322668197 }; // MDID of the DXF/DWG add-on

Again, how they know what is the mdid of that module? How to find it?

I'm rookie with ArchiCAD API - hope you guys can help!

Hi,

Is this plan dependent? If so, then what kind of elements cause the crash?

If not, could you please send me the bug ID?

Best, Akos
