i selected an object which seems to be the active object
then tried to fill faces
print ( ' obj_act = context.active_object =', bpy.context.active_object )
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='TOGGLE')
bpy.ops.mesh.fill()
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
this follows the viewport commands
no errors but it does not fill up the faces ?
what else is missing here to do the fill up of all faces and see results in viewport?
thanks
well this is correct for viewport, but in script, you can’t really use toggle commands without knowing the current state
try this instead:
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT')
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='SELECT')
bpy.ops.mesh.fill()
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')
i trid with a test like this
but then i get an error on poll for select command!
seems that the toggle must be done twice!
if bpy.context.object.mode == 'EDIT':
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='TOGGLE')
bpy.ops.mesh.fill()
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
any other way to check for edit mode ?
thanks
you may get a poll error if you just deleted an object and bpy.context.object is therefore None. In this case, mode changing will cause an error. You can solve this by e.g.:
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = bpy.data.objects[0]
bpy.data.objects[0].select = True
it can fail if scene is entirely empty though
i printed the name of the active object just before that
so i know i have the right one
but then trying to go into edit mode and select all verts
and it fails right there on the select command ?
tried with you lines
object=bpy.context.active_object
print (' Active object name =',object.name)
ob1=bpy.data.objects["gougon"]
print ('ob1=',ob1.name)
print ( ' obj_act = context.active_object =', bpy.context.active_object )
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = bpy.data.objects[0]
bpy.data.objects[0].select = True
if bpy.context.object.mode == 'EDIT':
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
<b>bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='TOGGLE')</b>
bpy.ops.mesh.fill()
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
get error
dules\bpy\ops.py", line 188, in call
ret = op_call(self.idname_py(), None, kw)
untimeError: Operator bpy.ops.mesh.select_all.poll() failed, context is incorre
t
unless this command has changed !
somethings is wrong here but what
thanks
did a test here and no error this time
if bpy.context.object.mode == 'EDIT':
pass
else:
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
print ('after bpy.context.object.mode =',bpy.context.object.mode)
print ()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='TOGGLE')
bpy.ops.mesh.edge_face_add()
no error but does not fill up the faces
like i do in viewport !
something is missing but what so it fills up all the faces !
thanks
found an example for using the fill command
but seems it may not work on first shot
to tried it like in the script example but still not working
bpy.ops.mesh.remove_doubles()
bpy.ops.mesh.fill()
for i in range(0, 5):
bpy.ops.mesh.beautify_fill()
bpy.ops.mesh.tris_convert_to_quads() # # Quadrangulate the mesh using blender ops
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle() # this is F key
so repeated it 5 times but it did not work to fill up faces!
any way to make it work ?
thanks
works fine here
if bpy.context.object:
print(bpy.context.object.name)
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT', toggle=False)
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='SELECT')
bpy.ops.mesh.fill()
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT', toggle=False)
else:
print("No context object!")
i remove some of the code lines before creating this new object
and now seems to work to fill up the object
not certain why
have to find out what cause this problem!
i tried to add the spin dup one and still in error it is out of context
if bpy.context.object:
print(’ bpy name =’,bpy.context.object.name)
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode=‘EDIT’, toggle=False)
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action=‘SELECT’)
bpy.ops.mesh.spin(steps=9, dupli=True, degrees=360, center=(0, 0, 0), axis=(0, 0, 1))
print (‘object ######### filled up’)
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode=‘OBJECT’, toggle=False)
else:
print(“No context object!”)
what can causes this out of context ?
the object is seleted in edit mode so it should do the spin
!
same sequence of commands then in viewport!
thanks
here sample file
cagegear3.blend (96.7 KB)
i added spin under the fill mesh around L288
but it is also at the end of script but that one is not working
but not important if it works in first location around lines 288
i check the object is active and in edit mode
like in viewport report window!
thanks
well it fills one segment, then errors out at line 294, not sure why
ye that’s the line for spin dup
which is same then in report window
so it should work
but it is out of context ?
anyose else has an idea how to correct that
thanks
got another example working 50 %
has to do with viewport
bpy.context.area.type=“VIEW_3D”
but then have to come back !
but not working well!
but got this ecample from column script
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
bpy.ops.mesh.spin(steps=(self.base_faces*4), dupli=False, degrees=360, center=(0,0,0), axis=(0,0,1))
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='SELECT')
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
thanks
this seems to work but not in my script !

this might be indeed a context problem…
make your code an operator itself, then call it via spacebar menu in 3d view to get proper context!
as an operator it will work with spacebar no doubt
but i need this inside the script!
the independant script works fine by itself alone
but when i add it to the other scritp after doing the fill operation it is refusing to work
it has the right object in edit node and should work like in the other stand alone script but it doesn!
there must be a way to make this spin command work !
i saw another step by step way of doing spin
if i have to use that one which is more complicated then i’ll take that one
but much more work!
thanks
what is the IRC channel where we can ask questions for python
may be i’ll get lucky there!
thanks
just talk to Meta androco and told me
that spin is broken and many bugs report have been done and he does
not think it will be corrected soon = not a priority right now!
so have to try use screw tool or use move rotate things
any example using the screw modifier or screw tool ?
never use these one before !
thanks
