Best way to hide a child and get best perfomance

Tpaxep

Hi, forum!
I'm working on a tool the principle of operation of which is similar like a "Sweep". It wraps one "profile" spline around a "path" spline. I want any geometric change to these splines to trigger an update. I think I've figured it out using this code.

def GetVirtualObjects(self, op, hh):
   
    doc = op.GetDocument()
    path = op.GetDown()
    if path is None:
        return None

    profile = path.GetNext()
    if profile is None:
        return None

    dirty = op.CheckCache(hh)\
            or op.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_DATA)\
            or path.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_DATA)\
            or path.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_MATRIX)\
            or profile.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_DATA)\
            or profile.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_MATRIX)
    if not dirty: return op.GetCache(hh)


    path = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(
        c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
        [path],
        c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
        c4d.BaseContainer(),
        doc
    )[0]

    profile = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(
        c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
        [profile],
        c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
        c4d.BaseContainer(),
        doc
    )[0]

However, I'd like to hide the child elements, but I can't figure out how I can do it more correctly

I have try use c4d.BaseObject.Touch() and my child is hide, but I can't edit my path/profile dynamically. If I edit the path/profile, I need to refresh the viewport or op settings to see the changes.

I tried this code. Perhaps I didn't fully understand something and missed something.

path = op.GetDown()
if path is None:
    return None

profile = path.GetNext()
if profile is None:
    return None

path.Touch()
profile.Touch()

dirty = op.CheckCache(hh)\
    or op.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_DATA)\
    or path.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_DATA)\
    or path.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_MATRIX)\
    or profile.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_DATA)\
    or profile.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_MATRIX)
if not dirty: return op.GetCache(hh)

Besides this, I tried using op.GetAndCheckHierarchyClone like it was in this thread https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/10491/13941_hide-child-of-object-plugin/3

path = op.GetDown()
if path is None:
    return None

profile = path.GetNext()
if profile is None:
    return None

ProfileClone = op.GetAndCheckHierarchyClone(hh, profile, c4d.HIERARCHYCLONEFLAGS_ASSPLINE, False)

ProfileCloneDirty = ProfileClone["dirty"]
ProfileCloneClone = ProfileClone["clone"]

PathClone = op.GetAndCheckHierarchyClone(hh, path, c4d.HIERARCHYCLONEFLAGS_ASSPLINE, False)

PathCloneDirty = PathClone["dirty"]
PathCloneClone = PathClone["clone"]

if not ProfileCloneDirty:
    return ProfileCloneClone

if not PathCloneDirty:
    return PathCloneClone

path_upd = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(
    c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
    [PathCloneClone],
    c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
    c4d.BaseContainer(),
    doc
)[0]

profile_upd = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(
    c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
    [ProfileCloneClone],
    c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
    c4d.BaseContainer(),
    doc
)[0]

However, this reduces performance compared to the code above. I would be very grateful if you could help me figure out how I can do this more correctly and optimized.

P.s I think my question will seem primitive, but I'm just learning the API, so don't judge me too harshly
