Non Deformer History Error

When I combine two meshes than I try to delete non-deformer history I get an error.

// Error: line 0: The -prePostDeformers flag is not supported with the following node(s) in the history: polyUnite1 //

What does it mean? How can I fix it?

Hello,

The error message means that the combine operation (represented by the polyUnite1 node)
is not supported by the delete non  deformer history function.

Probably because the combine operation resets the vertices order of the source geometries,
which is very  important for deformation.

 

You better detach the deformers, delete the history and re-attach them.
In case of skinning, unbind, delete history and rebind.
If those methods are too complex to do, check if you can work by keeping the combine operation in the construction history.
Cheers,

D

If its already skinned and animated , copy the skin weighs and export it in external folder , and delete the history of Mesh and rebind it and import the same skin which we already saved in external folder
