Checking if Subdivision attributes were selected

[lcrivell]

Hi,
In a c++ plugin for maya, how can I check if a shape had its Vray attributes set to "Subdivision" ?
Thanks !

Is it a custom geometry plugin, or just a mesh?

Best regards,

Just a mesh

Ok then; can you not simply check for the existence of the V-Ray subdivision attributes and their values on the DAG node? Just like you would do for any other attribute of the mesh shape.

Best regards,
Vlado

Oh thanks, sounds indeed basic. Didn't know these were stored as normal attributes.
I was missing the attribute name, which I found by saving the file: vraySubdivEnable

Actually, you can just look into the script editor. Maya prints your actions as MEL commands, so whatever you do with the attributes will show their names.
