Hi,
I have made a small script to select a modifier from picked object and paste it(as an instance) to multiple objects through “addModifier”. But doing this with Edit Poly modifier doesn’t preserve any editing in the source modifier when pasted to other objects.
I even tried “modPanel.addModToSelection”.
However, if I manually copy and paste the Edit Poly modifier from stack of one object to another object all the editing and extruding is preserved and transferred to other object. I want exactly same thing to multiple objects (keeping in mind that poly count is same) through scripting.
How can this be achieved?

Thanks

Doesn’t seem to work with an Edit Poly (or an Edit Mesh). It does, however, work with parametric modifiers such as Bend, Spherify and so on. Even instancing the Edit Poly before making any changes to the object does not carry those changes through to the instanced modifier.

It’s obviously possible because, as you noted, it works when done through the UI. How? I don’t know, I’m afraid.
