@Dunhou said in Geometry Axis asset node and LoadAssets: Hi there, In C4D 2024, the Geometry Axis can not accessible in python anymore, how can I fix that? from typing import Optional import c4d doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument # The active document op: Optional[c4d.BaseObject] # The active object, None if unselected def main() -> None: for i, (bc, descid, _) in enumerate(op.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)): name = bc[c4d.DESC_NAME] if name == "Axis X": print(i,descid) print(op[descid]) if __name__ == '__main__': main() 2024 [image: 1699255573905-832ba1ea-2683-4deb-95de-67444dbcf033-image.png] 2023 [image: 1699255607788-d37942ef-53b5-4e13-9cab-2946766c3fd6-image.png] Cheers~ DunHou Hi, this issue have been fixed in 2024.2 and your code is working as it was previously. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam thanks!

@Dunhou @Manuel Thanks for the response. I ended up going for the ctrl+C on the node editor Pretty straightforward and works as expected. Functions like how you copy/paste nodes on Fusion and Nuke.

@Manuel Gotcha. Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Ferdinand, Thanks a lot for your in-depth answer! I was assuming it was possible, but now I know for sure! Cheers, Casimir Smets

@ferdinand Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. Will close this thread now.

@ferdinand Thanks for that solution. It's happy to hear that , I do try to make win-win clear post as I can to don't waste our time , hope it's a worthy work I tested the new GetUpdatedInexcludeData function , it worked well , The "click twice" thing never happen again . It's the None condition I didn't realize before . It does happend when no or single object in the list . And for the "odd place" and the "exception ", it is a test to make sure all the things above work well( after that are all the settings ) . I forgot move to the right place . sorry to that Thanks for the caring code for c4d.utils.DegToRad(360) , I haven't notice this before and just stupid import radians

Hi @Dunhou you can't control the Make Preview plugin, you have to rewrite the function yourself with all the tips previously shared in this topic. Cheers, Maxime.

I want to finish with this in case someone reads it. Years ago, I asked about the outdated methods when using these techniques. I tried to adjust the depth of the IK spline controls with the actual length of the spline itself. Today, I understand my mistake, as I was trying something that didn’t make logical sense. At the time, I thought it was the best option for what I was looking for. In short, this was never a problem, and the low response time is normal because the length depends on the depth of the controls. I thought there would be a solution, but choosing this path was not useful. In conclusion, what eventually satisfied my requirements was directly referencing the angles of the controls, meaning identifying how oriented each control is to another. I took this angle and used it as a factor to multiply by the depth. This model is much more logical and doesn’t have any flaws. At the time, I couldn’t think of a direct solution, but I didn’t want to leave this post like that. Thanks anyway, Ferdinand, for trying to help me. Cheers JH

Hi @ferdinand , Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was looking for ! flags: c4d.BaseContainer = c4d.BaseContainer() flags[c4d.FILENAME_DIRECTORY] = True # Add a CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME with our flags settings. self.AddCustomGui(id=MyDialog.ID_FILENAME, pluginid=c4d.CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME, name="Path", flags=c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, minw=0, minh=0, customdata=flags)

No worries, everything is fine, that is what we are here for, to clear up things. When you have questions I encourage you to open a new thread so that we can see what we can do. And this is also an open forum, so you can ask questions to the community if you want to. But unless pointed out specifically otherwise, we assume things to be support requests. Cheers, Ferdinand

@ferdinand Wow~ Thank you so much bro

@Manuel Ah gotcha. It's only available R26 onwards. That's why I can't see something related in my R25 documentation.

@Manuel Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. Sorry for the trouble. Works as expected. Will close this thread now.

Got it. Thank you.

@ferdinand Uhm. It's not as complicated as that. I mean it is complicated per se but there are already existing solutions. Check "Sphinx Search Extension". There are several. Pip install it and just insert it into the conf.py file. Also, it's not really as spicing it up per se. I mean it is but not really. It's just adding a sub paragraph section. The maxon redshift documentation is already doing it. And even if you are using sphinx implementation, it's also existing. Blender documentation is built using sphinx.

Thanks! Sorry, I am so careless that I ignore the message "Needs to be called before the change.". No worries, you are not the first one who trips over Undo call order, including myself at some point

@ferdinand thx very much! ill save this

@manuel ah gotcha. the node kinda. thanks. will close this thread for now.

@ferdinand Thanks a lot Ferdinand for this detailed and complete answer! This is exactly what I hoped to do! I tested the code and it works great! Since a few of the fixes you use are not recommended, i will solve it in another way for now, until it gets fixed for python, or i switch to C++. I got my plugin doing what i want, for the moment. Pretty sure this will also help someone else in the future. Have a nice day!
