To create a NPart
object, first the
corresponding Model
object must be present (see The Model Object).
With the graphical user interface, this is done in several steps:
-
Make sure that the
Model
object is selected. -
Select
Object->Create empty NPart...
. This will create a new, emptyNPart
object, whose editor will be displayed.
Using the Python environment, and assuming that the
Model
object is referenced by the variable "m":
p = NPart(m)
At this point, nothing is extracted and displayed. When
-
the default
Scene
object is present (by default, if otherwise not specified on the command-line whens starting baspl++), -
and the default
Scene
object'sautomatic_add
setting is active (by default),
the newly created NPart
object is automatically
added to the default Scene
object. Thus, as soon as
the NPart
object contains a mesh, it will be
displayed in the default Scene
object.
