making it a child of the root by scripting

making it a child of the root by scripting

Carl,
  If I understand correctly you want the duplicated object to be the child
of the scene root.  If so I think you need to change your Duplicate function
to be the following:

Duplicate myObj.model & ".Curve" , 2, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1
instead of:
Duplicate myObj.model & ".Curve" , 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1

This will change the hierarchy setting the 1 to zero forces the parent to be
the scene root.

Following are the descriptions from the documentation.

Hope this helps,
  Jabbar


Duplicate ([InputObjs], [NbItems], [History], [Hierarchy], [Grouping],
[Properties], [Animation], [Constraints], [Selection], [Xfrom], [Sx], [Sy],
[Sz], [Rx], [Ry], [Rz], [Tx], [Ty], [Tz], [TrackXForm], [TextureSupports])

     Constant  Value  Description
     siNoParent  0  parent the copied object under the scene root
     siSharedParent  1  share the parent of the source object
     siNewNullParent  2  create a null to act as the parent of this object
