Im trying to check if the selected object has a specific modifier, adding the modifier if it doesn't exist, and then applying all the modifiers:

import bpy obj = bpy.context.object modifs=[] for modifier in obj.modifiers: modifs.append(modifier.type) if 'TRIANGULATE' not in modifs:] bpy.ops.object.modifier_add(type='TRIANGULATE') for modif in modifs: bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply(apply_as='DATA', modifier=modif)

Code above adds the modifier if it isn't present but it doesn't apply the modifiers to the object. If I paste bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply(apply_as='DATA', modifier=modif) into the python console it applies the modifier. What am I doing wrong?

    $\begingroup$ Try bpy.ops.object.convert(target='MESH') instead of the last 'for modif in modifs' loop above. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 19:57
  • $\begingroup$ Also in your script you should 'modif.append(modifier.name)' not 'modifier.type'. What is unclear: shoud the triangulate modifier be applied? $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 20:05
  • $\begingroup$ Nah, type is nice in case there is another trianulate modifier @lemon $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 20:42
  • $\begingroup$ @brockmann, was talking about the first loop, not the triangulate. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 1, 2020 at 7:49

The list doesn’t contain the newly added triangulate modifier (if there is one). Also, it seems necessary to apply by name, not by type. The following works for me:

import bpy obj = bpy.context.object modif_types = [ modifier.type for modifier in obj.modifiers ] if 'TRIANGULATE' not in modif_types: bpy.ops.object.modifier_add(type='TRIANGULATE') modif_names = [ modifier.name for modifier in obj.modifiers ] for modif in modif_names: bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply(apply_as='DATA', modifier=modif)
