It isn't a short script so I won't be able to write everything again for you. I would do it using an addon I wrote, so If you download and install my addon, you can use the code below:
addon: http://skymill.co.jp/tools/Softimage/mCombine/mCombine.xsiaddon video to see what it does: http://vimeo.com/78735229 Then select the parents objects and run this script: // Jscript // Specify the Merge Tolerance Value var mergevalue = 0.00001 //----------------------------------------- var sel = getvalue("selectionlist") for ( var i=0; i < sel.Count; i++ ) { var obj = sel(i) var oChildren = obj.FindChildren2("","polymsh") var aChildren =[] for ( var j=0; j < oChildren.Count ; j++ ) { aChildren.push(oChildren(j)) } var children = obj.FindChildren("","polymsh") mCombine( aChildren+","+obj, mergevalue, 1, 1, 0, 0 ) } Martin On Tue, Feb 10, 2015 at 10:35 AM, Jeff McFall <jeff.mcf...@sas.com> wrote: > I have a large set of extruded poly objects which have their detached > caps as children. > > I need to merge these caps into the parent geometry.
