Hi Everyone, I have a mesh referenced in my Maya file, and I need to get the difference (vertex position, or deltas) between the actual mesh and the original mesh. I managed to get a list of the edits via the cmds.referenceQuery() command, but that returns only a list of MEL commands, and I can't do much with that data. What I would like to do is to run a MFnMesh.getPoints() both on the mesh I have now and also on the mesh as it was before the edits. One solution would be to read the mesh data, unload the reference, clear the edits, reload the reference and then read the mesh data again, but I predict problems. The reference edits system in Maya is very powerful but also very weak and unstable, and I don't trust in loading and unloading edits without something breaking (un)expectedly. I believe that this information must be saved somewhere in Maya's memory, but I really can't find a way to access it. I looked into the the MFileIO class, but I couldn't find any function that matches my needs. Obviously I googled it, but it's not something easy to research on the internet, so...
...does anyone have any idea how to do this? Any advice is more than welcome. # Enrico -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
