Well, im kind of new to this python coding lark so be kind!

Im currently trying to access all selected objects from a pyhton script, like so;

Code:

from Blender import * print "Running..." #Pull in the selected object information... Selected_Objects=Object.GetSelected() Number_Of_Selected_Objects=len(Selected_Objects) #If the user has selected some objects, get to work .... if Number_Of_Selected_Objects>0:    #The user has selected something!    for Working_Object in Selected_Objects:       #Scan through each of the objects available, grab the object in question       #If its a usable type ...       if Working_Object.data==None:          print "Axis"+str(Working_Object)          #<<< problem!?! >>> else:    #No work to do, exit!    print "Nothing selected!."

Now my problem is, how can I tell a non mesh object (Mesh & empty) apart from a curve (and other blender object types)?

When trying to access .data of a curve/surface (for example), I get a python module missing error

All I want to be able to so is skip non mesh objects in the selection, any pointers or ideas would be ace

hope this helps, in my version (2.20) it works. dont know why i had to import Blender210. with the Blender namespace it didnt work.

Code:

from Blender import * import Blender210 import string print "Running..." #Pull in the selected object information... Selected_Objects=Object.GetSelected() Number_Of_Selected_Objects=len(Selected_Objects) #If the user has selected some objects, get to work .... if Number_Of_Selected_Objects>0:    #The user has selected something!    for Working_Object in Selected_Objects:       #Scan through each of the objects available, grab the object in question       #If its a usable type ...             if Blender210.isMesh(Working_Object.name):          print "mesh"          print "Axis"+str(Working_Object)       else:          print "somethingelse"   else:    #No work to do, exit!    print "Nothing selected!."

installed 2.25. here you can get the Type with the getType() method.

Code:

from Blender import * Selected_Objects=Object.GetSelected() Number_Of_Selected_Objects=len(Selected_Objects) if Number_Of_Selected_Objects>0:    for Working_Object in Selected_Objects:       print "-- "+Working_Object.getType() else:    print "Nothing selected!."

Thanks, the getObject() method helps tons.
