So I can name the file on output through the command via detachName, but I
can't be sure if the name won't be incremented if it uses a name that matches
an object that already exists for whatever reason.
Is there a way to capture the resulting name? I've been unable to do this
through
ExtractFromComponents("ExtractPolygonsOp", "", detachName, true,
siImmediateOperation, siKeepGenOpInputs, dr_obj)
Or
var dr_obj = ExtractFromComponents("ExtractPolygonsOp", "", detachName, true,
siImmediateOperation, siKeepGenOpInputs, null)

Subject: Re: can you generate an object anywhere you want?
The active Scene_Root is the default and only location for new objects created
in this manner (and most other manners.)
Also, separating with periods to define the hierarchy is not an actual
convention. That said, it's trivial to use the .AddChild() method of any object
to put one or more objects under it as children, after they are made.

Howdy folks,
I'm trying to repair an old jscript.
The primary command being used is
ExtractFromComponents("ExtractPolygonsOp", "", detachName, true,
siImmediateOperation, siKeepGenOpInputs, null)
I'm attempting to use a custom name for the resulting object in "detachName"
which looks like this
Model.transfogroup.polymsh_separate
The intent is to have the new object, as a result of the extraction, created
under
Scene_Root
Model
transfogroup
polymsh_separate
Only problem is it creates the extraction under root instead of Model as
Scene_Root
Model_transfogroup_polymsh_separate
I suppose I could move the new object from Root to Model.transfogroup after
the fact but I'm curious if anyone knows if it's possible to direct object
creation in this manner and how it would be done. Or is root the default, and
only, location for new objects created this way?
