Here's an old script I wrote that might do the trick:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Author : Alok Gandhi
from win32.com import constants as c
xsi = Application
log = xsi.LogMessage
def extractMesh():
'''Make a group of all the instances for
which you want to extract the mesh. Select
the group and run the script, the meshes
will be created under the null '_PAR_instanceMeshes'
'''
instGrp = xsi.Selection(0)
instMeshNull = xsi.ActiveSceneRoot.AddNull('_PAR_instanceMeshes')
for eachInst in instGrp.Members:
mdl = eachInst.InstanceMaster
dupMdl = xsi.Duplicate('B:%s'%mdl.FullName)(0)
dupMdl.Kinematics.Global.Transform =
eachInst.Kinematics.Global.Transform
for msh in dupMdl.FindChildren('','',[c.siMeshFamily,
c.siNurbsSurfaceMeshFamily]):
msh.Properties('visibility').Parameters('hidemaster').Value =
False
xsi.ParentObj(instMeshNull,msh)
xsi.DeleteObj('B:%s'%dupMdl.FullName)
log('Meshes Extracted Successfully !!', c.siInfo)
extractMesh()
