Member Function Documentation

virtual int ExtCount ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns the number of file name extensions supported by the plug-in.

virtual const MCHAR* Ext ( int  n )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns the 'i-th' file name extension (i.e. "3DS").

Parameters:

int i

The index of the file name extension to return.

virtual const MCHAR* LongDesc ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns a long ASCII description of the file type being imported (i.e. "Autodesk 3D Studio File").

virtual const MCHAR* ShortDesc ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns a short ASCII description of the file type being imported (i.e. "3D Studio").

virtual const MCHAR* AuthorName ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns the ASCII Author name.

virtual const MCHAR* CopyrightMessage ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns the ASCII Copyright message for the plug-in.

virtual const MCHAR* OtherMessage1 ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns the first message string that is displayed.

virtual const MCHAR* OtherMessage2 ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns the second message string that is displayed.

virtual unsigned int Version ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns the version number of the import plug-in. The format is the version number * 100 (i.e. v3.01 = 301).

virtual void ShowAbout ( HWND  hWnd )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called to have the plug-in display its "About..." box.

Parameters:

HWND hWnd

The parent window handle for the dialog.

virtual int DoImport ( const MCHAR *  name, ImpInterface *  ii, Interface *  i, BOOL  suppressPrompts = FALSE  )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method actually performs the file import.

Parameters:

const MCHAR *name

The file name chosen by the user to import.

ImpInterface *ii

An import interface pointer that may be used to create objects and nodes in the scene.

Interface *i

Pass the 3ds Max interface pointer here.

BOOL suppressPrompts=FALSE

This parameter is available in release 2.0 and later only.

When TRUE, the plug-in must not display any dialogs requiring user input. It is up to the plug-in as to how to handle error conditions or situations requiring user input. This is an option set up for the 3ds Max API in order for plug-in developers to create batch import plugins which operate unattended. See Interface::ImportFromFile().

Returns

One of the following three values should be returned:

#define IMPEXP_FAIL 0
#define IMPEXP_SUCCESS 1
#define IMPEXP_CANCEL 2

virtual int ZoomExtents ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method is used to control the zoom extents done after the import is accomplished. It returns a value that indicates if the plug-in should override the user preference setting.

Also see the method Interface::GetImportZoomExtents() which returns the state of the system zoom extents flag.

Returns

One of the following values:

ZOOMEXT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED

Indicates to use the preference setting.

ZOOMEXT_YES

Indicates to do a zoom extents after import regardless of the preference setting.

ZOOMEXT_NO

Indicates to not do a zoom extents regardless of the preference setting.

Default Implementation:

{ return ZOOMEXT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED; }

{ return ZOOMEXT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED; } // Override this for zoom extents control
