import Blender
m=Blender.NMesh.GetRaw('Plane')
m.mode=128
m.update()

I wish I understood the purpose of that code. The simplicity implies that its very effective and important. Could you at least put a comment in the code that says what it does?? :wink:

Well, that didn’t work overhere …

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “Text”, line 5, in ?
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘mode’

but I tried the following:

import Blender
m=Blender.Object.GetSelected()[0].getData()
m.mode = 128
m.update()

which did work.

And m.mode = 256 does the opposite :wink:

And does not work if the object is not a mesh
or alterate twoside option


import Blender

set_subsurf=128
set_twoside=4
set_drawnormal=32

O=Blender.Object.GetSelected()[0]
##------ just and only for meshes
if O.getType()=='Mesh':   
   m=O.getData()
   print m.mode
   ## ---  if not in subsurf -----
   if not (m.mode & set_subsurf):
      m.mode+=set_subsurf
   else: 
      ##-- yet subsurfed so subsurf is removed
      m.mode-=set_subsurf
   ##--- console control  ---
   print m.mode
   ##--- activate the new choise---
   m.update()
Blender.Window.RedrawAll()

Just a problem : now the mesh is not visible!!

_it becomes unvisible, yes, but if you tab-tab it (in and out of edit mode), it magikaly appears again. This happened to me couple of times before, mainly when using the decimator.

I kindly give my permission to use name the tedi trick for above described tab-tab trick.

Maybe you should harrass the coders team with this problemo - just to keep them amused and in shape :slight_smile: ?
