Hi,   again a strange Problem.
When generating primitive Objects with GeneratePrimitive(GetActiveDocument(), Ocapsule, bc, 10.0, false, NULL);
all primitive Objects derived from Ocylinder (so Ocapsule etc.) generated in Cinema are invisible. Additionally the User then cannot edit the y - Coordinate of the Dimension.
The generation of Cubes or so works fine. what went wrong?
My Code:
BaseContainer bc;
  BaseObject * object = GeneratePrimitive(GetActiveDocument(), Ocapsule, bc, 10.0, false, NULL);
  Vector vr;
  vr.x = 10.0;
  vr.y = 10.0;
  vr.z = 10.0;
  object->SetPos(vr);
  vr.x = 1;
  vr.y = 1;
  vr.z = 1;
  object->SetScale(vr);
  GetActiveDocument()->InsertObject(object, NULL, NULL, TRUE);
  EventAdd(EVENT_FORCEREDRAW);

Thank You!

You need to set a few parameters in the bc before GeneratePrimitive(). See PrimitiveObject or Ocapsule.res (and the files it includes) for which IDs to use. (If C.O.F.F.E.E. doesn't recognize the IDs you can copy them from the corresponding Ocapsule.h file.)

Sorry, I don't know why I thought it was C.O.F.F.E.E. However, I still think that you might have to set some parameters. Specifically, adding these lines to your code fixed the problem:

    
    
    bc.SetReal(PRIM_CAPSULE_RADIUS, 50.0);  
    bc.SetReal(PRIM_CAPSULE_HEIGHT, 200.0);  
    bc.SetLong(PRIM_CAPSULE_HSUB, 1);  
    bc.SetLong(PRIM_CAPSULE_FSUB, 1);  
    bc.SetLong(PRIM_CAPSULE_SEG, 2);

Hi,
I fixed it...
For anyone interested: GeneratePrimitive does not work with Ocylinder but you can create any Objects by
BaseObject * MyCylinder = BasObject::Alloc(Ocylinder);
