Hi
Im struggeling with how i can get DrawLine2D to be draw on top of the other scene objects. I have a tooldata plugin and im drawing a simple rectangle inside the MouseInput function:

  
(omitted code)   
# Draw a rectangular region in the picture viewer   
        while result==c4d.MOUSEDRAGRESULT_CONTINUE:   
            mx += dx   
            my += dy   
  
            p2 = c4d.Vector(mx,firstMy,0)   
            p3 = c4d.Vector(mx,my,0)   
            p4 = c4d.Vector(firstMx,my,0)   
  
            # bd.SetDepth()   
            bd.LineZOffset(100)   
            bd.SetMatrix_Screen()   
            # bd.SetMatrix_Camera()   
  
            bd.SetPen(c4d.Vector(0.9,0.9,0.9),c4d.SET_PEN_USE_PROFILE_COLOR)   
            bd.SetDepth(True)   
  
            bd.DrawLine2D(p1, p2)   
            bd.DrawLine2D(p2, p3)   
            bd.DrawLine2D(p3, p4)   
            bd.DrawLine2D(p4, p1)   
  
            c4d.DrawViews(c4d.DA_ONLY_ACTIVE_VIEW|c4d.DA_NO_THREAD|c4d.DA_NO_ANIMATION)   
            result, dx, dy, channel = win.MouseDrag()   
  
(omitted code)

The rectangle is drawn on top of the grid but behind shaded objects. How can i draw it on top of everything else in the scene? Setting the LineZOffset doesn't seem to have an effect.

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Ok. Moving the drawing of the lines to the Draw function solves the problem

Yep, drawing only in the Draw procedures. Anything else could even crash the program!
