Description

Converts a module from part to part assembly and vice-versa, assuming it’s allowed from the current hierarchy status and entity containment rules. To check if the conversion is allowed, use hm_me_moduleoccurrenceconvert_isallowed.

Inputs

id: The ID of the module to convert. The module must be an occurrence.
type: part - Converts the module to a part. That means it will become a leaf in module hierarchy and cannot contain other parts or part assemblies, only other entity types. A module explicitly created as part assembly cannot be converted to part.; assembly - Converts the module to a part assembly. That means it will be able to hold other parts and part assemblies, as well as other entity types based on entity containment rules.
reserved: Reserved for future use. Must be set as "".

Example

Convert module ID 168 from a part assembly to a part:

*ME_ModuleOccurrenceConvert 168 part ""

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
