vrFileIOService saveFile function does not seem to use the export settings

[flavien_picon]

I am trying to export a FBX model and get VRED (PRO 2024.1) to convert surface as meshes.

That works when I do it through the Export UI, and I make sure "as mesh" is selected for surfaces in FBX export settings.

However I tried to do the same thing through python API and the vrFileIOService saveFile function and I cannot get VRED to convert surfaces to mesh. I tried:

- changing the default FBX export settings in preference

- or changing those through python scripting

FBXSettings = vrFileIOService.getExportSettings(vrCADFileTypes.FileType.FBX)

FBXSettings.setExportSurfaces(vrdFileExportSettings.SurfaceExportMode.Mesh)

vrFileIOService.setExportSettings(vrCADFileTypes.FileType.FBX,FBXSettings)

vrFileIOService.saveFile(filename)

Try to use the exportNodes function and pass the root node.
