Sub-Object Centers and TMs
Related help topics: Module description
New way of dealing with sub object coordinate systems.
Plug-in enumerates its centers or TMs and calls the callback once for each. NOTE:cb->Center() should be called the same number of times and in the same order as cb->TM() NOTE: The SubObjAxisCallback class is defined in animatable and used in both the controller version and this version of GetSubObjectCenters() and GetSubObjectTMs()

When the user is in a sub-object selection level, the system needs to get the reference coordinate system definition from the current modifier being edited so that it can display the axis.
This method specifies the position of the center. The plug-in enumerates its centers and calls the callback cb once for each.
- Parameters
-
cb The callback object whose methods may be called. See Class SubObjAxisCallback. t The time to enumerate the centers. node A pointer to the node. mc A pointer to the ModContext.
Reimplemented in PatchObject, SplineShape, and SimpleMod.

When the user is in a sub-object selection level, the system needs to get the reference coordinate system definition from the current modifier being edited so that it can display the axis.
This method returns the axis system of the reference coordinate system. The plug-in enumerates its TMs and calls the callback cb once for each. See Sub-Object Coordinate Systems.
- Parameters
-
cb The callback object whose methods may be called. t The time to enumerate the TMs. node A pointer to the node. mc A pointer to the ModContext.
Reimplemented in PatchObject, SplineShape, and SimpleMod.

This method is called before a modifier or object is collapsed.
- See also
- Class NotifyCollapseEnumProc.
- Parameters
-
node Points to the node for the object being collapsed. derObj If the object associated with node above is a Modifier this points to the derived object.If it's an object then this is NULL. index If the object associated with node above is a Modifier this is the index of this modifier in the DerivedObject.. If it's an object then this is 0.

This method is called after a modifier or object is collapsed.
- See also
- Class NotifyCollapseEnumProc.
- Parameters
-
node Points to the node for the object being collapsed. obj derObj If the object associated with node above is a Modifier this points to the derived object. If it's an object then this is NULL. index If the object associated with node above is a Modifier this is the index of this modifier in the DerivedObject. If it's an object then this is 0.

Objects and modifiers that support subobjects have to overwrite this method - as well as GetSubObjType() - and return a class derived from ISubObjType in GetSubObjType().
Developers can use the GenSubObjType for convenience. If the parameter passed into GetSubObjType is -1, the system requests a ISubObjType, for the current SubObjectLevel that flows up the modifier stack. If the subobject selection of the modifier or base object does not affect the subobj selection that flows up the stack, the method must return NULL. See meshsel.cpp for a sample implementation.
- Returns
- The number of sub-object types supported by the object or modifier.
Reimplemented in PatchObject, SplineShape, and SimpleMod.

inlinevirtual |
Returns a pointer to the sub-object type for the sub-object whose index is passed.
If the parameter i passed is -1 the system requests an ISubObjType for the current SubObjectLevel that flows up the modifier stack. If the subobject selection of the modifier or base object does not affect the sub-object selection that flows up the stack NULL must be returned. See the sample code in /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/MODIFIERS/MESHSEL.CPP.
- Parameters
-
i The zero based index of the sub-object type to get. See the remarks above.
- Returns
- The sub-object type. See Class ISubObjType.
Reimplemented in PatchObject, SplineShape, and SimpleMod.

This method returns an integer which indicates the current sub-object level of the modifier or base object.
- Returns
- A value of 0 indicates object level. A value of 1 through NumSubObjTypes() are the sub-object levels in the same order as they are returned by GetSubObjType(int i) (with an offset of 1 of course).
