Ciao Michele,
if you take a look to default setting of Dup command, you will see that
by default the Parameter "Grouping" is siNoGrouping
Infact in your log this line after Dup:
Duplicate "cube", , siDuplicateHistory, siNoParent, siNoGrouping,
siDuplicateProperties, siDuplicateAnimation, siDuplicateConstraints,
siSetSelection, siGlobalXForm, , , , , , , , , , ,
siDuplicateSelectedTextureSupports
The Dup Object doesn't share RigidBodies Group ( Explorer > Environments
) so for XSI it isn't an rigidbody.
Remenber that when you use Duplicate command with "CTRL+D" it reads
settings in Edit -> Duplicate/Instantiate -> Duplicate/Instantiate
Options... PPG
while Duplicate command in scripting way use default setting of native
command if you don't specific.

Subject: Duplicate and siDuplicate
Hi people,
I'm trying to duplicate an object via scripting, then delete its rigid
body properties and operators using RemoveRigidBody.
Using the "Duplicate" command seem to work, but after Dup,
RemoveRigidBody seems to be unable to remove any properties.
Using the "siDuplicate" command works, and after siDup, RemoveRigidBody
removes the rbd properties.
Strange.
While I don't understand why it's working this way, and documentation
didn't help (scripting reference contains the same description for both
commands, "duplicate objects"), I simply could go on and use
siDuplicate, but it happens that i need to remove Properties, Animation,
Constraints, Hierarchy, History, and siDuplicate's parameters are mostly
"Not Implemented".
file://C:\Softimage\XSI_4.0\Doc\XSISDK\reference\SIDuplicate.html
Now:
- both commands return an XSICollection of duplicates,
- they seem to differ only by the number of -implemented- parameters
(Duplicate accepts some additional parameters for duplication offsets
and placement tracking).
You can test this by copypasting into v4 script editor the following:
' Repro Steps #1: - Duplicate
Set oRoot = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
Set oCube = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Cube", "MeshSurface" )
CreateActiveRigidBody oCube
Set oDup = Duplicate(oCube)(0)
RemoveRigidBody oDup
' Repro Steps #2: - siDuplicate
Set oRoot = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
Set oCube = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Cube", "MeshSurface" )
CreateActiveRigidBody oCube
Set oDup = siDuplicate(oCube)(0)
RemoveRigidBody oDup
The 1st doesnt delete the duplicate's properties, the 2nd does.
Is this happening only on my system?
I can't understand, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Anyone has a solution/suggestion for this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Michele
