Hi,

We're often converting multiple objects to proxies usually in vray, but as we're also using corona it would be usefull to be able to share the proxies.
Therefore we'd like to use proxsi's.
I'd like to convert a selection of objects to proxsi's in an external folder depending on the object.
So is there a way to set a folder, or based (relativ) to the opened file to store the proxsis in a subfolder PROXY

I've already started to combine some parts of the script.
This is what I'd like to have:
- Select a number of objects
- Choose a name for the objects that will be attached
- Attach those objects using the AttachObj from the shape tools
- Convert this to a sini proxy in a subfolder relative to the opened file under the folder "PROXY"
- Pivot is placed in the center on the bottom by the proxsi if I'm right...

Please assist me to change the script to achieve this goal, thanks

Hi Pieter,
I've just updated the button code so it creates a ProxSi from the Attached Obj. You'll need to change the different options for the Maxscript as I have only put in the default.

on AttachObj_Bt pressed do(
		Objs = selection as array
		AllObjs = undefined
		if _Weld_chk.checked == true then
			AllObjs = Si_Mesh.AttachObj Objs _Weld_chk.state _Weld_Spn.value _New_Name.text
		else
			AllObjs = Si_Mesh.AttachObj Objs _Weld_chk.state 0.0 _New_Name.text
		AllObjs.name = _New_Name.text
		thatProxSi = ProxSi Logo_size:300 pos:[0,0,0] isSelected:on
		thatProxSi.SiNi_ProxSi.AddNode AllObjs false false 4 "C:\\"
		-- You'll need to change the to Pos[0, 0, 0] if you don't want to keep the position objects Original pos
		macros.run "Modifier Stack" "SubObject_2"
	)

Hi Josh,

Thank you for your reply.
I'll try this tomorrow.
Also good to know where the code snippets are located on the website, couldn't find them.
