Write obj without prompting

When I call the function DocumentParser.writeObj the prompt asks the user to “select meshing options”. How can I save an obj file without asking the user to enter this value?

Hi @victor.munyoz,

I am not familiar with this class or method. Can you provide some sample source code, that we can run here, that repeats what you are seeing?

I’m sorry, the function writeObj was mine…
The function is actually:

var tmpFileName = Path.GetTempFileName() + ".obj";
var script = $"_-SaveAs \"{tmpFileName}\" _Enter";
RhinoApp.RunScript(script, false);
var bytes =  File.ReadAllBytes(tmpFileName);
File.Delete(tmpFileName);
return bytes;

Any idea of how to avoid the prompt when running these lines of code?

Hi @victor.munyoz,

How about this:

var script = $"_NoEcho _-SaveAs \"{tmpFileName}\" _Enter";

I tried the option “_NoEcho” but still the same problem.
It keeps asking to “select the meshing option (DetailedOptions PolygonDensity=50)”
Am I doing somethink wrong?

Hi @victor.munyoz,

No, you are not doing anything wrong. But you will need to provide meshing parameters in your script.

When this message appears, I always click Enter (I assume it selects some default parameters)
So, I tried to add an extra “_Enter” in the script, and… it works! So, the problem seems solved.
Thank you
