I store integers in some faces on my mesh as blind data.  I’ve written a C++ exporter plugin that’s working great, but I’m having trouble querying the blind data.

I use the MFnMesh::hasBlindData(MFn::kMeshFaceVertComponent, status) method of the MFnMesh class for my mesh and it returns FALSE every time.  I can query the data using the Blind Data Editor, so I know that it’s there.

This leaves me wondering.  Is kMeshFaceVertComponent the correct component type for a face?  If not, what is the correct component type?

This stumped me for 4 or 5 hours now.  I’m going to bed, but I’ll check back for replies once I wake up.
