Hi everyone.

I have a script that works perfectly well in Max 2010 and I’m trying to make it back compatible with 3dsmax 2009.

Basically it imports an FBX file that is meant to be scaled to the system units.

When I call the following in max 2010 it works perfectly.

The same call fails in max 2009 sp0, and sp1, with

-- Type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined

ps. Although “ScaleFactor” isn’t in the maxscript help, all other arguments also throw the Type error warning (in 2009).

Works here - even with the “ScaleFactor” which isn’t in the help. Tried 6 different commands (including Scalefactor) and all returned “OK”. Max 2009 32bit, SP1.

Have you applied the latest FBX updates?

Many thanks!

Applied the latests FBX update and it worked perfectly.

Does mean you would have to inform anyone installing the script that FBX version xxx is required or you’ll be getting a lot of emails… ;-)

I get the same error after installing a plugin for Real Flow. I wonder if theres a way to temporarily disabled the plugin after its used?
