hi GabaCGStudio, is this what you mean?

Code: [Select]

mycrnproxy=$crp_Box002
converttomesh (instance mycrnproxy)

imho actually the codes does the same that "duplicate to mesh button", only the variable choose the object named $crp_Box002 which is coronaproxy object to convert.
you can change variable mycrnproxy to selected object(s) like this:

Code: [Select]

for crnproxy in selection do converttomesh (instance crnproxy)

it probably doesnt do the same - converttomesh will convert the current viewport representation. You need first to set the viewport representation to mesh and then do the convert for this to work. The Corona function for duplicating to mesh is currently not exported to maxscript, but I will do it

added, will be in new daily build: CProxy.ProxyFp.duplicateToMesh $

ah I'm sorry I forgot the current viewport representation. the coronaproxy need to use full mesh viewport display first before converttomesh.
