I was messing around with bmesh and tried to use the mesh_to_bmesh operation, however, I was returned this error...

NotImplementedError: mesh_to_bmesh: keyword "mesh" type 4 not working yet!

The best I can tell this is saying that the function hasn't actually been implemented into the code and is just a placeholder. If this is correct, can anybody tell me if there is another way to transfer a mesh back into a bmesh object? Thanks.

The proper function to be used is the bm.from_mesh(me) function where bm is the bmesh object being transferred to and me is the mesh. Also for the reverse operation we can use bm.to_mesh(me) which will load the bmesh data back into the mesh.

For code example see the template bmesh_simple.py which is included in blender text editor.

some of the bmesh operation didn't work yet like bmesh.ops.bmesh_to_mesh , mesh.ops.mesh_to_bmesh and bmesh.ops.object_load_bmesh, the only note is that the DOC says :

this bmop is private
