[Bf-committers] collapse/flatten modifier stack?

[Eugene Minov]

Hi,

I don't know exactly how to apply all modifiers from a script but when I
need apply them all from gui I use:
Alt+C -> "Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text"

Also I don't know if it work with multimodifiers. If it works
with multimodifiers also, then
maybe you can somehow call this from a script.
