Applying Operators

You can apply any operator with the ApplyOp command, including custom operators. In addition, there are a number of other scripting commands that can also apply operators; these are a more specialized version of ApplyOp:

Operator Type	Name
Generic	ApplyOp	ApplyOperator
Generator	ApplyGenOp
Topology	ApplyTopoOp	TrimWith
Deformer	ApplyKinematicOp ApplyDeformByCage ApplyDeformBySpine ApplyPropVolumeOp	ApplySnapFaceOp SIApplyDeformByCage SIApplyDeformBySpine
Assignment	ApplyFlexEnv LocalAssignFlexEnv	SIApplyFlexEnv SILocalAssignFlexEnv
Simulation	ApplyHairOp ApplyHairAttenuateOp ApplyHairClumpOp ApplyHairCombNormalOp ApplyHairCombOp ApplyHairCutOp ApplyHairDynamicsOp ApplyHairLockOp ApplyHairMergeOp ApplyHairPopOp	ApplyHairPopSelectedOp ApplyHairPuffOp ApplyHairRecombOp ApplyHairResampleOp ApplyHairRotateOp ApplyHairScaleOp ApplyHairShatterOp ApplyHairSplineGenOp ApplyHairSplitOp ApplyHairUnlockOp

The ApplyOp command is the most common way to apply an operator. However, if you are creating an operator on the fly (and therefore already have a pointer to it) you can also use the Operator.Connect or Operator.ConnectToGroup methods in the object model. For the C++ API, the Operator::Connect function is available.
